Most people who arrive early wait on the front steps or in the sanctuary, you can also wait outside of the side door around the corner on 71st street
Hot food is served downstairs in the basement
They always have regular or vegetarian options which you can eat in the dining room or immediately get in line to wait for seconds to be served
It's a very nice church overall and the crowd is resonably friendly as far as soup kichens usually go

Food pantries offer grocery-style items such as canned food, fresh produce, and dry goods like pasta or rice that you can cook yourself. Soup kitchens offer ready-to-eat items like hot meals or sandwiches. All of these locations may have different options on different days, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day.
Pantries may have different options at different times, so it is hard to tell what each one of them will offer any given day. Most pantries do give out some form of vegetables, but they may be canned items.
