Jinya Ramen. It has a fairly high rating so I was pretty surprised that I really didn't like it :|

The one at Crossroads? That's one of the ones I know and I thought it was pretty good.

The one that's become my favorite is Kizuki at Main & 148th. You should give that one a try if it isn't too far. I get the Chicken Rich and the broth is so rich it's almost a cream broth. And my coworker swears by the Spicy Garlic (it's one of their most popular but I don't get it because it's a pork broth).

^Yeah, the one at Crossroads. I mostly didn't like it since my ramen was super salty and the toppings were pretty plain (I think it was the pork and chicken broth one). Like the "seasoned egg" just tasted like a plain egg to me. Maybe I just ordered the wrong ramen but I'm not sure.

And looks like Kizuki isn't too far so I might have to check it out.

EDIT: Ah I was rushing to class so I forgot to say earlier but... Thanks for the suggestion, Popo!

If you like pork and either place offers a tonkotsu style, get it. It's a pork bone broth that is so rich.

Crazy night tonight. Trump wins, Cruz is out, Kasich is the only opposition left, newspapers are declaring the Republican Party is dead, at least one Republican has shared an image burning his voter registration card in protest, the GOP seems to be endorsing Trump.

Oh, and Gary Johnson is telling people to start backing him. I wonder what other third party candidates we are about to see take the field.

Well I think the GOP killed the Republican party from the inside out so burning the card makes sense I suppose. Trump is disgusting. But so are the roll over and play dead bible crushing dimwits of the GOP side of the Republican party too. Conservatives or more classic republican types got rolled over tonight with that crap. Unless somehow Trump can actually beat Hillary and they're neck and neck for the least likeable people in the race by far the RNC is screwed. Fractured party, conservatives vs the cranks. Democrats have got to be loving this as it'll implode and give them a lot of seats all over the place if not this year in another 2 to 4 tops.

I'll be honest; I'm surprised Cruz threw in the towel before Kasich.

Man, real talk and honest question, how come the GOP hasn't tried to get Colin Powell to run for President? Or have they? Is he simply viewed as being too moderate and/or not cray-cray enough? To my memory I've never voted Republican in a presidential election, but I would strongly consider voting Powell, particularly in a race against Hillary.

It's a shame we probably won't see a Bernie v. Trump debate as there would be some absolutely amazing material coming from both sides of the stage (albeit in very different ways). Popcorn city baby. :lol:

They tried. Powell declined. He's not that interested in running an election.

I think Rudy Giuliani could do well in a General election, but Rudy himself has said that moderates have a hard time in the GOP primaries.

Yeah, as I recall he would always recite concern for putting his family through an election as the primary reason why he would not run whenever he was asked.
