Chicken Paitan Night at Toribro Ramen

Let's meet up at Toribro Ramen, a standout spot specializing in chicken-based ramen with deep flavor and clean execution. This will be a casual, low-pressure meetup -- grab a bowl, talk ramen, and meet other NYC ramen fans. No formal agenda, just good food and good company. As always, we'll be respectful of the restaurant and keep the group small. Details: Location: Toribro Ramen, 366 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019. Style: Chicken paitan ramen -- rich, creamy, and deeply flavorful. Group size: 5-8 people (first come, first served RSVP). Everyone covers their own food and drinks (bring cash or prepare to Venmo/Zelle). Meet time: 6:30 pm.
