The Downtown Lunch Guide

"We don’t know why Gene’s chose to name itself after its sandwiches. They’re really good - filled with ground pork and so greasy that they should be wearing headbands - but the noodle dishes are the reason you need to come here. Everything is hand-pulled at this tiny cash-only spot, and you’ll see and hear them slapping the noodles on the counter as you wait. The result is some really thick, chewy noodles that you would eat with just about anything, but which are absolutely perfect when topped with a peppery sauce." - dan secatore
