FOUR STAR SOUP KITCHEN

OUR GUESTS DESERVE THE BEST

Since 1982, Broadway Community has lovingly prepared warm, healthy, and gourmet multicourse meals for all who hunger. During the best of times and the worst of times, our soup kitchen has been a live-giving island of stability for thousands of New Yorkers in need.

Many of our guests are coming to us directly off of the streets, so hospitality is at the center of our philosophy. We don't just serve calories — we serve compassion, deliciousness, and dignity. Each meal is carefully prepared by a professional Chef and is completely free. Volunteers serve as waiters and waitresses and treat our guests as though they were dining at a Michelin-star restaurant. As our longtime Chef and Food Services Director Michael Ennes said: “They’re still customers, whether they’re paying $100 a plate or nothing.”

Want to dine with us?
Our soup kitchen is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 10:00am to 1:30pm. Our services are open to all, no questions asked, no pre-registration required. Breakfast is served from 10:00am to 11:30am and lunch is served from 12:30pm to 1:30pm.
