Tuesday Night: Gotham West Market - Ivan Ramen and Genuine Roadside

Towards the end of one year, my friends thought that we weren't hanging out enough. It's true, we weren't. So they started Tuesday night get-togethers. Every Tuesday, we'll pick a bar to drink, eat, and hang out for a couple of hours. Whoever can make it will attend. If you're busy, it's okay. There's always next week. So this is Tuesday Nights on Tasty Eating where you will find bars that serve food and how we like them.



On this recent Tuesday Night, we headed out to: Gotham West Market



I really wish this food court was open when Mr. M&P and I used to live in Hell's Kitchen. It was would certainly made it in our weekly rotation for food.

They have some pretty tasty places in there like Ivan Ramen which is all the rage right now. His sweet savory ramen broth, chewy noodles, and garnishes have been praised by many. On my night there, I had the Classic Shoyu ($13) with his famous chicken broth, chasu, and added an egg (+$2). Delicious and flavorful. The rye ramen noodles were heartier than most noodles and paired well with the broth. Overall, it's a lighter ramen but I don't mind it at all. It's certainly different and yet very delicious.

Pio Pio

If you're looking for an affordable group dinner that isn't Asian, Pio Pio is a good choice. This Peruvian restaurant has many outposts in NYC. The one in Hell's Kitchen is modernly decorated with a huge space in the back and downstairs. In fact, I've seen groups of 20-30 being lined up there. So if you're doing a group of that size, this may be the place for you.

We were only a group of 5 this night and we ordered accordingly. First, the chicken. We can't go to Pio Pio and not order the Rotisserie Chicken with the delicious marinade of herbs, spices, and oil. Don't squawk at the $16 price tag. It feeds a lot of you and it's worth it.
