Ichiran

The Best Restaurants For Dining Solo - New York - The Infatuation

"Ichiran isn’t just perfect for solo diners. It’s perfect for antisocial ones as well. Here, you can sit in a “concentration booth” that looks kind of like a desk or a voting stall and pass your written order through a slit on the far side. Then it’ll just be you, your ramen, and whoever is sitting behind the dividers on either side of you. This Midtown location was the first U.S. location of a Japanese chain (there's also Times Square, Downtown Brooklyn, and Bushwick locations), and it’s a fun experience you should have all by yourself." - willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, carina finn koeppicus
