This is going on my short list for my next NYC trip.
Chicken Paitan Ramen from Totto Ramen - This obscurely located shack on the fare west side of Midtown is invariably mobbed. It specializes in a Cantonese-influenced broth made with chicken and pork bones, and soft straight or slightly wavy noodles. This is a great choice for lovers of delicacy and subtlety in ramen. Shown with two rather unusual toppings, one a hot pepper condiment (shown in the soup), the other soy-marinated avocado. Weird and wonderful! 366 West 52nd Street, 212-582-0052
