Urban Hawker – NYC (recommended)

dievca’s been off her game for a couple of days. Allergies into Sinus Infection into Bronchitis.  she’s been masking at work and otherwise laying low.

she’s out of Chicken Noodle Soup and she needed to shake off and move a bit, so she rode up to 50th Street between 6th/7th to get a bowl of Ramen at Urban Hawker — early enough so the crowds weren’t in evidence (4:30 pm).

Putting Anthony Bourdain’s dream into reality – Urban Hawker is a food market curated and helmed by KF Seetoh, who is the founder of Makansutra, a company revolving around Asian food culture. Urban Hawker features 17 different vendors, 11 of which are directly from Singapore.

dievca chose a soup (above) from Prawnaholic, a Hokkien-style prawn noodle soup stall.

she had a hard time of choosing because the selection of Asian street food that looks very appetizing is immense. she though the soup would be good for her health and soul.

After following up her dinner with a Matcha Tart, dievca hopped on her bike to follow the 7th Avenue Bike Path home.

Urban Hawker, which boasts a 200 person capacity and a 14,000 square foot space, is located a few blocks away from Times Square in Manhattan at 135 West 50th Street.
