TabeTomo celebrates 5 years in the East Village
East Village Ramen restaurant TabeTomo will be celebrating 5 years this weekend with $5 Ramen bowls all day on Friday & a Anniversary Part starting at 11pm on Saturday. Although I haven’t been there for some time, I am a big fan of their ramen broth. There’s no mention of which of their ramen will […]

Yuji Ramen (Closed)
A friend had been telling me about this place for a while — I rarely shop at Whole Foods & had never been to the food court upstairs, but it seems that I have been missing out on a whole lot. Started as a pop-up in the back of a brooklyn bar, Yuji has been […]
Totto Ramen
It’s no real secret that I’m a huge Ramen fan, but I don’t often venture far out of the East Village. A few weeks ago, I was going to a show at Terminal 5, so it was the perfect opportunity to head uptown & check out Totto Ramen. I’ve heard horror stories about massive lines […]

Kambi Ramen House Revisited
With the weather being so hellishly cold recently (don’t get me started on the snow), I thought it would be a good idea to take another look at Kambi Ramen House. I know that Minca is much more centrally placed in the East Village & that the menus are basically the same, but Kambi does […]
M2M
Morning to Midnight, aka M2M, is a bright Asian supermarket packed full of lots of items that you would otherwise have to go to Chinatown or Koreatown to find. Even if I really don’t need anything, I often find myself going into M2M just to browse the aisles and have a look around. Before I […]
Minca
Where should I begin? Minca has cured both colds & hangovers since I started going there in 2004. Even with Kuboya Ramen just next door & Rai Rai Ken not too far away, I still feel like Minca is the best ramen in the East Village (I have yet to try, Setagaya, Ippudo & Robataki which […]
Kuboya Ramen
A few days ago I talked about Kuboya Ramen that popped up right next door to Minca, the much loved reigning champ on the block. I questioned whether or not we need another Ramen spot on 5th street. Well, I decided to check out Kuboya for myself & here’s my review.
