5. Soups

The older I get, the more I like 'em. And my food group preferences start to show here - mostly, if not entirely, vegetables and seafood.

This is a soup at a 2 Michelin star Japanese place in East Village that is not there any more.
They stayed in business though, just moved somewhere else.
I have more meals from there in other groups, so if you're patient enough to browse, you'll find out
