Nestled in the Upper East Side, NR is a chic, Meiji-era-inspired ramen bar dishing out inventive noodles and craft cocktails in a stylish, speakeasy ambiance.
"From the same people behind ROKC, NR has a similar menu, with ramen ranging from simple Kyoto and Sapporo-style bowls to more unique options like a soupless ramen made with wagyu beef and bone marrow. And while you might raise an eyebrow at a bowl of noodles that sounds like stunt food, you don’t have to worry about that here. Everything at this UES spot is great. Just go with what your heart wants." - will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja, kenny yang
"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.

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
