Delicious mess at Jin Ramen
A long ride on the 1 train to 125th st will leave you and your crew right at the Harlem location of this ramen hub. After establishing a necessary mutual trust that there won't be any judgement for all of the messy slurping, also make sure you're happy to spend a good chunk of time with the people you go with. This busy spot, though totally worth both the wait and the difficult eating process, doesn't take reservations.
