"Cocoron is our favorite place to eat soba noodles in the city, and it’s exactly one block from Bowery Ballroom in Nolita. Get some dip soba noodles (we like the spicy mera mera and the chicken meatball), and bring cash because they don’t take cards. Even if you want to tell everyone you know about Cocoron - don’t. It’s the sort or spot you’ll want to reserve for solo dinners and very elite-level friendships." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren
