The Soup Nazi Returns

The real life Soup Nazi of Seinfeld fame is reopening his original store in Hell's Kitchen today, six years after the last of his several Manhattan locations closed. All the famously stringent rules will be enforced: Have your money ready, step to the left, no unnecessary talking. I used to patronize the location at 42nd and Fifth, where a tiny portion of lobster bisque would set you back $12. And was totally worth it.
