American tapas restaurant in LES with bar upstairs. Don't be surprised to walk through a pawn shop to get to the restaurant or see champagne served in the restroom. More expensive but fun to try.

The best ramen in NYC, but wait is crazy during dining hrs. So go late or put your name down and grab a drink & pork buns at the bar or go around St. Marks and check out the shops and tattoo parlors.
