Al Fresco Dining at The Soup Man; Darryl Strawberry's Resto

MIDTOWN— The Original Soup Man just introduced al fresco seating today. Looks like we already have a strong contender for our Shitshow Week Worst Outdoor Seating in New York contest. [ZagatBuzz]

KOREATOWN— Midtown Lunch has some interesting details on the giant new Bon Chon Chicken that's set to open next week just a block away from the cultishly adored Kyochon. Think plasma screens, several beers on tap, and a vibe which they describe as "the classic east meets west. American sports bar meets classic Bon Chon." [Midtown Lunch]

QUEENS— Darryl Strawberry's new Sports Bar and grill is set to open up next Thursday. The baseball legend says "I might surprise people sometimes — come out and be the waiter." Grub Street's got the menu. [NYDN, GS]
