Urban Hawker, Direct from Singapore | The New Yorker

"Curated by K.F. Seetoh as a midtown food hall under Urbanspace, this edited, Singapore‑inspired collection imports stalls directly from Singapore (with some local businesses added) and presents a focused point of view that, to me, feels like a more effective expression of Singaporean food than any single restaurant; it avoids the corporate, phoned‑in vibe of many flashy New York food halls. The concept is a scaled‑down realization of a street‑food advocacy idea Seetoh championed (and a pared‑back version of an international concept Anthony Bourdain once planned), and the hall's dishes range roughly from $1.85 to $59.80." - Hannah Goldfield
