Blackbeard Ramen - Cliffside Park, NJ Serving tonkotsu based ramen, miso, tonkotsu gyokai, and green curry ramen. Popular so there could be a wait depending on time.
Menya Jiro - Financial District, NYC Serving tonkotsu ramen from Kagoshima. Their ramen won the NYC ramen contest in 2016 and 2017. This tonkotsu is not as heavy as the Hakata Tonkotsu but has its own excellent flavor. This location is more like cafeteria style, located within a bento shop so I assume it is very crowded for lunch.
