"Not only is Ani Ramen operating two different non-profit pop-ups out of its Newark Avenue space to support frontline medical staff and displaced hospitality workers, but it’s also serving its delicious ramen at District Kitchen, a food hall on Hudson Street. Stop by any day between 12-3pm or 4-9pm." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, matt tervooren
"Ani Ramen has launched two temporary popups - Rock City Pizza and Bang Bang Chicken - serving pizzas and Thai rotisserie chicken. They’re available for takeout or delivery, and when you order through Be Awesome Feed Somebody, you have the option to donate a pizza or rotisserie chicken to frontline workers at discounted prices." - matt tervooren
"If the idea of a speakeasy isn’t, well, speaking to you, then you’ll also be very happy taking a seat at Ani Ramen before going through the secret door in the back. After hosting charitable pop-ups for about six months, they’re back to serving spicy miso ramen, various types of bao buns, and a big selection of whiskey indoors and outside on their patio." - matt tervooren
"Yes, Ani makes fantastic ramen, but their appetizers are top-notch, too. If you can handle some heat, order the spicy miso ramen: a chicken broth-based ramen with miso tare, roasted vegetables, and pork belly. (And if you can’t, stick with the shoyu.) We also love the shrimp bao, chili charred edamame, and the pulled pork donburi rice bowls. This is a casual spot that’s great for meeting up with a few friends for lunch over good food, drinks, and music—the playlist is mostly from the ‘90s and early aughts." - matt tervooren, nisha vedi pawar, kendal nicole lambert
