"A ramen shop on 51st Street known for its comforting, sensory bowls and an almost ritualistic dining experience: guests are greeted by simmering broths and steam, and popular orders include a spicy karaka ramen and a sweet-savory vegetarian steamed bun. The broth, noodles, and toppings—pork, mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and scallions—are savored in a meditative way that helps calm pre-show nerves during rehearsals and previews." - ByAli Francis
