Anyone know what days of the week and what hours the reopened location (it's at 55th St. and 8th Ave.) has?
This info is unfortunately not found at their website In addition, the number listed to call the Main Office is disconnected and there's no phone number online for the new location.
Many thanks.

It's reopened at the original location and with the original owner, and it is literally around the corner from our offices. It's between Broadway and 8th Avenue on 55th Street. I haven't looked this week to see if there were lines. I can try it sometime, perhaps next week, and let you know how the soup is. I though it was good before, albeit pretty expensive.

Doug, according to published reports, the store, which has also changed name, is a franchise now
"SoupMan President & CFO Bob Bertrand, stood in for Yeganeh on Tuesday and spoke on his behalf. After years of being asked about when the original store would re-opening, it wasn’t until recently that the company “got the concept [behind the flavors] down to the way Al would be proud of it,” said Bertrand, adding: “He’s the brand and heart of the company, so he decides.”

"He's still the heart of the company," said Bob Bertrand, president of The Original SoupMan, which now has franchises in nine states and Washington.
"He's never gonna get back behind the counter and ladle soup, except as a guest."
