Raijin Ramen comes from the owners of Ginza Sushi. The restaurant serves ramen bowls in a casual setting, with rapid service for getting in and out.

Raijin Ramen focuses on a concise ramen menu built around tonkotsu, miso, umami shoyu, veggie, and chicken broth options. Side dishes include gyoza, tsumami chashu, karaage, takoyaki, edamame, and ika geso. The menu also offers yakisoba, cucumber and seaweed salads, and small donburi bowls with unagi, karaage, mentaiko, or chashu.

Anne Rysdale built @sheltercocktaillounge in 1961 with concrete walls, lava rock, and Cold War nerves. Today, owners Pam Santangelo and Kevin Breutzmann keep the Tucson bar exactly as regulars remember it. Inside, martinis share space with JFK memorabilia, a vintage atomic chandelier, and a suit of armor named Charlie. “Tucson is changing so much, but this has stayed the same. It’s a time capsule,” Santangelo said.
