Answer 2

The original location on w55th as shown in another answer is no longer there.  Just the sign and closed shop is there, tourists take their pick there but they now have several Soup Man locations in the city.  I don't think you'll find him in any of them though.

Answer 3

Yes, here is the website:

"You may not know that the Soup n**i was actually based on Al Yeganeh and his soup stand, Al’s Soup Kitchen International. Mr. Yeganeh supposedly did not give his permission to Seinfeld to make the episode, and was very displeased with it. But it is real, and while the television show portrayed an exaggeration of the “real” Soup n**i, it is certainly based on truth. Take a look around the official website and you’ll see for yourself. "

Answer 4

Severely overpriced soup!
