Let’s play a game. If you can be the first person to correctly identify this soup—both what kind of soup it is and where in New York it comes from—I will buy you a bowl of it. No, silly, I won’t eat it with you—I never mingle with the masses. Instead I will send you its monetary value and you can go buy yourself a bowl. It’s a lovely arrangement.
“But Adam,” you might say, “How can I identify a soup based on a grainy unfocused picture? And how in the hell am I supposed to know where in New York it comes from?”
Settle, now—I will give you some clues. Here they are:
– The soup comes from Lower Manhattan.
– I ate it at the counter.
– When this place is written about, they often mention the soup. (I have a stack of magazines to prove it!)
– The monetary value of the soup is $5.50.
Ok, that’s enough. Either: (1) this is crazy hard or (2) crazy easy. Either way, here’s the soup! Good luck!
