You might be surprised to realize that I have never actually given Sophie’s a proper +/- on MidtownLunch. There was a mention of the Lexington location months and months ago, the reporting about the new 56th St. location, and then the live-blogging of the Grand Opening, but never a proper page that people could refer to for locations and a real +/-. So… here it is- in pictures (the best way to enjoy a place like Sophie’s).
An inside shot of the Lexington location. You have two dining options at Sophie’s. You can sit at a table and order from a waitress (on the left), or get in the cafeteria style line and order directly from the steam tables. If you get in the line, you have to take your food to go. This is especially confusing at the 56th St. location, where the tables are in the very back of the restaurant. If you want to sit and eat, you must bypass the crowds at the steamtable, and head directly to the back to order from the waitresses. The menu and prices are the same when you sit and order (but you do have to tip, making it a little more expensive.)
