If you don’t go to to Korea regularly, some place in Korea town:

Also, a restaurant that’s high in a skyscraper or on a rooftop, such as: https://refineryrooftop.com/

And, Amy’s Bread:

Urban Hawker for Singaporean food
Could be fun to check out Smorgasburg food festival which is every weekend
Get proper tea at a place like the Whitby
Black Tap Burger
Do a pizza tour or bakery tour - so many good ones like Lombardi's, Joe's and Dominique Ansel, Breads, Levain, Magnolia

My son really liked the restaurant in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I liked it too. Plus, you get to check out the museum. The fashion exhibit now is so fun. As is everything else.
