20th Bowls and Books Soup Contest

The 20^th “Bowls & Books” Soupfest Contest will be held at the Rhode Center for the Arts, 514 56th Street, on Wednesday, March 29th. Eight restaurants will be serving from 11 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and eight different restaurants will be serving from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The restaurants serve their favorite and best soup. People coming to the event receive a score card and a commemorative bowl provided by Copy Center. The attendees go from table to table, tasting, enjoying and scoring the soups. Where else can you eat that many soups in one sitting?

The Soupfest has a $20.00 adult admission fee, both at lunch and supper servings – $15 seniors (65+) and students (up to 12). You will receive a signature cup and lots of soup.
