"NR is an Upper East Side ramen and cocktail bar with Gucci wallpaper and flaming cocktails. If this sounds gimmicky to you, we promise, it’s actually a very chill spot. You don’t need to get dressed up or make a reservation, and by the end of the meal, you’ll feel like your server is a longtime friend. Come here for big bowls of noodle soup and strong, inventive cocktails that will make you feel comfortable telling your date exactly what you want to do afterwards. " - carina finn koeppicus
