New Yorkers is facing food insecurity
SOUP SHOP BEGAN AS A WAY TO SUPPORT RESTAURANTS IMPACTED BY THE PANDEMIC AND NEW YORKERS FACING FOOD INSECURITY
Our program helps ensure that local establishments overcome these challenges and that communities have access to good food through both our meals and donations to mutual aid programs.
We celebrate Soup and Bread as enduring culinary staples that span international cuisine while showcasing nuances of technique and flavor. There is a nourishing quality that warms and moves us in a way that is both decadent and utilitarian.
We hope you will join us each week to engage these restaurants, learn more about the passion behind their food, and move towards a sustainable culinary future together.
