Send Chinatown Love: Trivia Night Fundraiser @ Shinka Ramen

As part of our initiatives for Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM) 2024, Send Chinatown Love is hosting our second-annual trivia night at Shinka Ramen & Sake Bar on Thursday, May 30 for a night of dinner and trivia! Join us for a fun-filled night of friendly competition, with questions focused on AAPI history, culture, music, and food. We will also be raffling off prizes from Asian American-owned businesses!

The members of the winning team will each win 2 raffle tickets for our drawing after the final round!

About Shinka Ramen

Home of the famous Beef Bone Marrow Ramen. Shinka Ramen has been named on 2022 & 2023 The Infatuation Best Ramen of NYC List, 2020-2023 Thrillist Best Ramen of NYC List and the 2019 JapanFes International Ramen Contest Champion.

We seek to create a memorable experience in every bowl of ramen that we serve. It begins not only with attention to the broth and noodles that are the main ingredients of ramen, but in the careful, deliberate selection and preparation of each ingredient of each of our distinct ramen. Our goal is that this can be tasted in every slurp of noodle and every spoonful of broth. We hope you enjoy our ramen as much as we have enjoyed creating it for you.
