JINYA Ramen Bar fulfilled the dreams of barhoppers and late-night workers when it opened its Midtown location. At midnight on a Friday, who wants pancakes when he can have warm, silky tonkotsu with pork belly instead? Really hungry people will do well to also get an order of the fried pork gyoza. Chase it all down with sake or craft beer. JINYA Ramen Bar Midtown is open until 11 p.m. weeknights and 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. It’s a bustling environment, so plan to wait for a table on busy nights. It’s worth it.
