NR

"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. 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

"In Manhattan you can find crowds clamoring for Hokkaido soup curry outside of shops like the Upper East Side restaurant NR." - ByChihiro Tomioka

"This ramen shop run by the folks behind ROKC is full of eclectic details like wallpaper designed by a luxury fashion house, unusual paintings, and hanging lamps bedecked with colorful fringe. It’s an intimate restaurant that serves excellent ramen and inventive cocktails, including a hot toddy variation that’s one of our all-time favorite warm alcoholic beverages.

"At NR, a ramen restaurant in Manhattan, head chef Takashi Igarashi put a Japanese-influenced deviled egg on the menu about a year ago." - ByAli Francis
