Making excellent use of its “alley cat” play on words, Ramen Tatsu-ya’s patio bar outpost embraces the pun and transforms Thursdays into Purrsdays from 7-10pm. Expect a very chill hang zone with DJs Celly and Beatsmode taking over the turntables on the penultimate and final Thursdays in May, respectively. Besides the top-notch ramen and small bites, they’ve got $3 Kirins with optional toppers of frozen foam flavored with ginger, mango, or vanilla, sure to be extra-refreshing on our hundred-degree days. Whether you’re winding down or turning up, this is your East Sixth Thursday spot. – Kat McNevins
