For the first step to share our ramen with the world, our first international shop is to be opened in New York in 2015. We also plan to open 1000 international franchised shops. I strongly believe that ramen is not only for Japanese but for the world. A strong willpower, a good fortune and confidence, have always been my saving grace. It is also on this journey that I came to realize how lucky I am – to be surrounded with most precious people such as my family, my staff and mostly the customers of Ramen Zundo-ya.
Between the Seas, the only festival in New York celebrating Mediterranean performance, returns to the Wild Project for its fifth year.
This year, the festival presents some of the most acclaimed and innovative performers from the Mediterranean region. Program highlights include: the English language premiere of "The Dictator" by Lebanese playwright Issam Mahfouz, an absurdist exploration on the nature of tyranny; Catalan artist Borja Gonzales on a performance piece based on puppetry and sand drawing; Italian dance company Esperimenti in a sparkling performance inspired by Italian songs of the 1960s and 1990s; and the fiery flamenco dancer Rebecca Tomas.
Between the Seas runs from Tuesday, Sept. 8 through Sunday, Sept. 13. Performances are at The Wild Project (195 E. 3rd St. between Avenue A and Avenue B). Tickets are $20 unless otherwise noted (students/seniors $15 with valid ID). Tickets can be purchased by calling OvationTix at 212.352.3101 or online here. You can find the full lineup at the Between the Seas website here.
Cooper Union’s finances are dreadful, and the fact that it charges tuition is a dereliction of everything Peter Cooper stood for. George Campbell, Jamshed Bharucha, and Mark Epstein should be shamed for what they did. It will take something approaching a miracle, or at least a couple of hundred million dollars, to get Cooper Union back to where it was.
We will be reopening 9/9 at 12pm! Come join us for complementary drinks to welcome us back! #organicgrill #reopen #og #nyc #eastvillage #xo
