    just got some "Hong Kong-style hot and sour soup" from Goodies downtown, ordered extra-spicy. Not bad, my expectations were very low. Really (artificially) thick and viscous-seeming though...

    I get 'yuk ge jang' from Korea palace.

    If no spicy soups, congee works too.

    sul long tang from gahm mi oak...dak do ri tang (spicy chicken and potato stew) from kun jip...

    or, matzo ball soup from 2nd ave deli...

    they'll do a body good.

    Chris, Korea Palace has samgetang? gotta check it out...i don't even look at their menus anymore. I just order the yuk ge jang.

    Too bad there's no pho place in FiDi proper - can't make it all the way to Chinatown during lunch :(

    Jane, the pho place on Doyers (which I think is called Vietnamese on Doyers) delivers. I used to order from them when I lived on Pearl St. - they are OK, not amazing but they suffice.
