I’ll share our favorite ramen place - Misoya on 2nd avenue, 1.5 blocks south of St. Marks. We usually get either the Hokkaido style Charshu ramen or the Tokyo style ramen.
I usually add a topping of karaage. Arnold gets extra noodles (inexplicably to me).
Taim is amazing and very cheap. But it’s not waiter service. You order at the counter and find an a seat at a table or stool by the wall to eat your falafel (which is delicious). So if you don’t care about the ambiance and service, this should be on your list.
Cancelled a few times before, but finally made our way to Porsena for dinner last weekend. Pasta dishes were very good. Casual with nice overall service. Agreed on quoted $35 per bottle corkage on our 1964 Produttori, but ymmv that evening and we were happy with the outcome.
