The Casual Weeknight Dinner Guide

"A bowl of ramen at Rai Rai Ken will cost you around $12, and it’ll provide enough broth, pork, and sodium to balance out any weeknight stress you might currently be dealing with. Go for the shoyu kind or the Mabo one with ground pork and chili sauce, then try to get home before you fall asleep. If you live in the East Village, that should be doable." - bryan kim
