"Shinya Ramen House is the only shop in the city that's open until 1:30am. This cozy place in Bridgeport is full of people grabbing food after hitting the bar, and IIT students who came here instead of making a journey to the microwave to heat up some cup noodles. Their standard bowls are good, but Shinya also has specialty options worth trying, like vegan tomato, curry, and—though purists might write a 20-page-long manifesto explaining why this is sacrilegious—miso ramen with udon noodles. Aside from table seating, they have a small area where you can eat on floor cushions. Just be careful, the later it gets the more likely you’ll find yourself taking a post-ramen snooze." - john ringor
