Get it while you can...
* Soup-less ramen sounds like a confusing concept, but you can try it out for yourself for a limited time. E.A.K. Ramen (469 Sixth Ave.) in the West Village is offering Tsukémen — also known as dipping ramen — just for the month of September. For $16, you'll be served two separate bowls. One is filled with chilled chunky noodles and topped with seasoned ajitama eggs, pork chashu, bamboo shoots and nori (seaweed). The other is the hot bonito fish-based broth. You're meant to grab the cold ingredients with your chopsticks and give them a little dip in the broth before enjoying. Also, E.A.K. Ramen will offer ramen bowls for just $5 from Sept. 8 - 10, down from their typical price of $14 to $17. During those days, only beer and ramen will be available.
