"A new-school ramen stall within the Bowery Market (well-reviewed by the New Yorker) had its final day on Saturday, March 29; owner Rasheeda Purdie shares that her restaurant is moving into a new space to be announced later." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Harlem-based Chef Rāsheeda Purdie is offering a three-course dinner in honor of Juneteenth, and the experimental menu involves several Southern food, Korean, and Japanese mashup dishes. Her Roots + Ramen experience is available for pick-up in Harlem this Saturday, June 19, and each order comes with a side of strawberry sage soda. For more details and to RSVP for a meal, head to her website here." - hannah albertine, nikko duren
"Ramen by Ra, which opened in December, is a small counter in the glass-enclosed Bowery Market on the Lower East Side. It specializes in asa ramen, typically eaten as breakfast in Japan, with chef Rasheeda Purdie's riffs on New York breakfast classics. There's a BEC ramen with thick slabs of smoked bacon, a seasoned egg, and cheese foam, as well as ramen with a slice of nova and scallions. The broth is clean and savory, and makes for a great canvas for their toppings." - neha talreja, will hartman, bryan kim, willa moore
"Do some of NYC’s most sacred breakfast items (BEC’s, bagels with lox) need to be anything more than what they are? You can ask yourself this question at a counter seat at Ramen by Ra in Bowery Market, over a bowl of bacon, egg, and cheese ramen, or gravlax ramen." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore
"If we were to ask a random person what the most “New York” food is, we bet the most popular answers (after pizza) would be bagels with lox or bodega BECs. At Ramen by Ra, a small, yet ornate wood counter in Bowery Market, you can get both these breakfast foods in the form of ramen bowls. Ra specializes in “asa ramen,” typically eaten as breakfast in Japan, with an NYC twist—and their bowls of noodles in a clear broth, topped with things like gravlax and fried capers, thick-cut slab bacon and roasted tomatoes, or steak and soy egg come together surprisingly well. While sitting under Bowery Market’s retractable roof might make you feel like you’re in an outdoor food hall in LA, Ramen by Ra’s bowls and toppings belong squarely in this city. photo credit: Will Hartman" - Will Hartman
