Dining Solo: 8 Of The Best Places To Eat Alone In NYC

Ganso

Ramen may seem like a simple dish: broth, noodles, a couple accouterments. But upon closer look, you learn that ramen is an art that deserves close examination and admiration. Ganso, located in downtown Brooklyn manipulates each element of their ramen dishes - the temperature, the smell, the broth, the noodle, and the toppings - to create a total experience for the senses.  In true Japanese minimalist decor, the restaurant is lined with raw cedar booths so that the sole focus of its diners can be on the ramen they're consuming. If you think the complex flavors are best part about eating ramen, just you wait, as proper dining etiquette is thrown out the window, and slurping and drinking from the bowl is encouraged. Sipping solo has never tasted so good as you dine by yourself at Ganso and pay your respect to the ramen.
