Hearth chef Marco Canora has added a new to-go window (door?) on the First Avenue side of the restaurant.
And starting today, you can get broth and soup at Brodo (Italian for broth) ...
Here's the menu (you can click on the image for the details) …
Canora talked with New York magazine/Grub Street, who first reported on Brodo, about how all this came about:
“Twenty years of eating bread, drinking booze, smoking cigarettes, and working in kitchens really fucked me up in a big way.”
Until quite recently, you see, Canora was not the epitome of good health. He’d been diagnosed as pre-diabetic, he was suffering from gout, his cholesterol was through the roof, and he was thirty pounds overweight. Now, at 45, having made some major changes in his diet, he says he’s in the best shape of his life. And he attributes not a small part of this reversal of fortune to daily doses of the broth he’s always made as a base for Hearth’s soups and stocks.
Hearth is located at 403 E. 12th St.

I'm gonna try it.
It's all the sugar and baked goods that cause the heart disease that kills people early, not the meat and fat. Of course like anything else, meat and fat should be consumed in normal portions and not by the tub-full.
I'm glad Hearth is doing something worthwhile (this EV-er has on the search for soup for lunch)-- because Marco lost my favor when I used to live over his bar near Hearth, Terroir. They were big fans of let's-leave-the-door-open-so-all-the-neighbors-get-to-hear-our-noise. Quite selfish. And a stupid phone/message system that was no help to neighbors.
Hey - Could we get a vegetable soup without beef? That'd be great. 6 soups on the menu and only 1 is vegetarian? That seems high.
Remember when the EV was where you came for good vegetarian food? People came here for all the good vegan and macro restaurants like Angelikas Kitchen, Souen, Quantum Leap, Zen Palate. The regular places like Dojos had many veggie plates like Soy Burger dinners and veggie Yakisoba, John's of 12th St. has a vegan menu, even the Ukranian and Polish places like Veselka, Neptune, Little Poland and Kiev had tons of vegetarian menu items.
At most of these new joints you're lucky if they have one vegetarian soup, appetizer, or main dish. I guess the foodie scene is becoming much more meat-centric so they can raise their prices and then pair your meal with an expensive wine. This new crowd just isn't as interested in healthy or sustainable diets any more....
I had the vegetarian soup tonight and it was delicious. I found my soup spot for the next several months. I eat soup in the summer as well so maybe for the next ever.
“I’ve told you once, I’ve told you twice, All seasons of the year are nice, For eating soup without thinking twice." (adapted Maurice Sendak)
And the gout mention has been on my mind all day. People still get gout? Hmmm. I had no idea.
I know two people who have the gout! @Anonymous 9:22 PM
Did anyone who went see what the hours were?
No, I didn't note the hours, but we tried the broth yesterday and it is delicious.
Monday - Saturday Noon to 7:30pm. Closed on Sunday.
