There is certainly no shortage of excellent ramen in New York City. From more traditional bowls to the funkier options made with truffle oil and Parmesan (ramen purists will say these aren’t even ramen at all, but every once in a while it’s nice to try something different and exotic), there’s something for every kind of ramen connoisseur here. Order in on a cold winter night and warm up with one of these delicious bowls at home, or hit up these spots late night after a night of drinking (your impending hangover will thank you later). Ready, set, slurp.

Mew Men If you live in the West Village, you’ll want to make this new 39-seat restaurant on Cornelia Street your regular ramen haunt. It’s the perfect place to hole up on a cold winter night with a date or a group of friends. Sit and slurp down one of culinary director Hiroshi Hiraoka’s (formerly of Ippudo in Japan and Q-Ramen in Sapporo) ramen creations, all of which feature a chicken broth base made in-house daily from fresh, locally sourced chickens. There are five sharable ramen soups on the menu, but the house signature is the Shoyu-Chintan, made with Japanese shoyu-based clear chicken broth with pork and chicken chashu, scallion, and marinated snow peas. As a side note: You might be there for the ramen, but it’s worth saving room for the deep-fried chicken and the Hiroshi pork buns. Wash it all down with a nice cold Sapporo.
