ramen burger ontology-- even more OT

[Geoff Nathan]

I have one whenever my cholesterol seems to be running low. So far that's exactly once, and Margaret and I shared it, took half of it home and shared that for an additional lunch later in the week.
Nit aza koysher, either....
But then, no pretensions that it is, despite the name of the restaurant, which is named after the building (which was once an early 20th century immigrant insurance company).
Amazing lobby, too: http://www.flickr.com/photos/snweb/1574341248/
