Akamaru Modern Ramen @ Ippudo Ny Inc

Alexa Andrzejewski Hmm -- I haven't tried enough places to make such a list yet, but you should start an open guide and we'll invite people to suggest things!

Alexa Andrzejewski For starters tho, here's a list of my high class friend Liya's favorites... it's what I used to go by in New York! BTW, I also loooved Katsu Hana... authentic tonkatsu, served just like it is in Japan -- with sesame seeds you grind on the side! Ippudo Momofuku Sam or Ko, Ive never been to Ko Robataya En - expensive but amazing! Matsugen sobaya - only sobaya in town best oysters Speaking of oysters there's the ouster bar on Carmine street Curry-ya, I haven't been and want to try Prune Baoguette Spotted pig Casa mono - expensive Sevilla - authentic Spanish been in the neighborhood forever

Alexa Andrzejewski (oops, I guess line breaks in comments don't work!)

Randy F. Thanks so much for the recs! Will definitely add Momofuku and Katsu Hana. I'll also try to make an open guide so people can share recs if I can figure out how!
