🌟 Featured Shop — Jin Ramen (Hamilton Heights)
This month’s spotlight: Jin Ramen (Hamilton Heights) — a cozy
neighborhood spot
serving classic and modern bowls right off Broadway. Warm service, comforting broths,
and a
relaxed, local feel make it a perfect winter ramen destination.
December Feature
Featured
Jin Ramen (Hamilton Heights)
Hamilton Heights • Neighborhood favorite • Cozy vibes • $$
Jin Ramen brings a warm, lived-in ramen shop feel to West Harlem — think
rich tonkotsu, miso-based comfort
bowls, and
spicy options that hit especially well on cold days.
It’s the kind of
place where regulars have “their” bowl, students slide in between
classes, and locals
use it as their go-to comfort food spot.
Look out for their pork-based tonkotsu, miso
ramen, and
seasonal specials. If you’re joining our December
meetup, you’ll get
to experience the space in full cozy mode with a room full of ramen
fans.
