Ippudo NY
$$
NOODLES
In New York, the good folks from Ippudo have kicked things up a notch - they've taken
their mouthwatering ramen recipe (truly, it's delish) and spiced it up with sleek surrounds
(hello shiny black surfaces and streamers of cherry red) and blasts of rock-and-roll on the
overhead speakers.

Luzzo's
$$
Fan favorite Luzzo's occupies a thin sliver of real estate in the East Village, which gets
stuffed to the gills each evening as discerning diners feast on thin-crust pies, kissed with
ripe tomatoes and cooked in a coal-fired stove.

Minca
$
NOODLES
The epitome of an East Village hole-in-the-wall, Minca focuses all of its attention on the
food: cauldronesque bowls of steaming ramen served with a recommended side order of
fried gyoza.
