long wait at the salad line, salad tastes watery, and the bread is stale. Seriously? The place was also so small that you end up bumping into everyone, or they end up bumping into you. I'm so disappointed.
This place is not closed! It may have reopened again or been renovated but it looks beautiful now. It is large and serves up your favorite warm soups. One time I went in and they had samples of their beef satay over noodles and it was great. It's also very well organized with a line and a large selection of their soups and sandwiches (might be more than I've seen in other locations). The serving bar seems much wider.
As for seats, because I'm sure not a lot of people know about this location as it is marked closed, there are many many seats and the wait for the line isn't too long. Definitely recommend. Plus, if you download the LevelUp app, you can get $2 off your first order, talk about yum!
Hale and Hearty is the NYC chain of cubicle drone soup and salad lunch combinations. With a ridiculous variety of foods at a typically sub-$10 price point, Hale is usually a good lunch option for the health and wallet conscious. In addition, they are super about noting what is vegetarian vs vegan vs dairy free vs gluten free.
This location at 45th between "Park" and Lexington recently finished a lobby renovation. The walkway between 46th and 45th Sts is still closed, but if you're willing to walk around the block, you can still get your soup on. This location is now bigger, better laid out, shiny, and has new items on the menu and a staff that is super eager to please (if only people would know they reopened!)
Today I got a tasty seafood stew bowl with orzo – at $12 its on the expensive side of the menu, but it was super warm and delicious and way more filling than a soup. You actually get a larger and wider bowl, so totally worth the price. Typically I go for a soup and sandwich combo, like the mushroom risotto soup with the turkey walnut, or the chicken jambalaya with a mozzarella basil ciabatta. Feel free to ask for a sample of the soups.
I totally forgot to check if there were more than 10 seats. I saw a couple… I'll report back later.
I came here around 1:30 in the afternoon and it was jammed!
They let you taste the soups before you buy, I thought that was really great. I got the lentil chili and the Tuna. The Lentil soup was good, but not great and the tuna was better, It was on a multi grain and had pickles in it.
The price was OK, but the layout of the place is strange with multiple levels and no room to move.
people, this is where you find your office food. but you already knew that 🙂 sandwiches are kinda of blah. soups are decent with good variety. about $4 for a small….I came here because I wasn't that hungry. otherwise, I normally wouldn't go.
Found a pebble in my soup.
A rubber band was in another soup.
FAIL.

Eggplant-lentil soup was a hit! A large is quite large!
