"Ichiran is a Japanese chain with locations in Bushwick, Midtown, and Times Square where you can eat your ramen in a “flavor concentration booth.” Think of it as a study carrel in a college library, but for solo ramen eating. Ordering here is done by filling out a form and pressing a button, so human interaction is minimal. If you’re afraid of loneliness, you can eat in an actual dining room (or just lower the partition between booths). The highly customizable ramen is solid, and the overall experience makes this place worth visiting at least once." - will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja, kenny yang
