Case Cracked! Mark Bittman’s Secret Favorite Restaurant is…
Men Kui Tei. It’s gotta be. Just as we suspected last week when we posted about the secret Japanese restaurant he had alluded to in a New York Times article. Some commenters pointed out that Men Kui Tei (on 56th btw. 5+6th) had too many white customers, was too well known, and didn’t have a good enough bowl of ramen to be the place. But the actual evidence is just too overwhelming. The formica tables and the word for word menu items he mentioned in the article were enough for us to suspect, but once we spotted this in the back we knew we had our place. Sure it’s not a “cash register”, but it’s close enough. Case closed.
