"For cheap ramen in Greenwich Village, I turned to Grab & Godeli, a convenience store specializing in Asian groceries located directly above the West 4th Street subway stop; it normally sells several types of ramen in substantial servings for $8.75, but a special deal currently delivers tonkotsu ramen with thick slices of chasu pork for $7, which is five or six dollars less than most ramen-ya. The sushi isn’t bad, and when I buy a bowl of ramen I can get a roll of my choice for $4, including higher-priced ones like barbecued eel and shrimp tempura." - Robert Sietsema
