Serving simple and delicious food, the Andaz 5th Avenue restaurant, is a uniquely neighborhood-centric spot more so than it is a posh New York City restaurant, is preparing to go "global" by welcoming Singapore onto their menu.

Market-driven French cuisine is undeniably chef Daniel Boulud's area of expertise, but this innovation restaurateur and chef is looking to the East. Boulud plans on featuring a Singaporean-inspired menu item that highlights the flavor profiles of Singapore in a robust and uniquely delicious way.  The DB Sling, a complex and delicious cocktail features a mix of Beefeater gin, Benedictine liqueur, and Cherry Heering liqueur with splashes of lime and pineapple juice and a touch of their house-made grenadine for $17.

And to wash it all down? Try the Singapore Sling as the OTR (off the rail cocktail) for $10.

Though Harold Dieterle's Kin Shop is known for contemporary Thai food, that fact is not stopping them from getting into the Singaporean spirit. They have developed a dish called laksa curry especially for the occasion; it's comprised of chicken confit, slow-cooked egg, and rice noodles for $25F.

Anything that comes from the brilliant mind of Marcus Samuelsson is worth checking out, but when a chicken restaurant like Streetbird Rotisserie (which is known for celebrating street food) decides to expand their horizons with a dish from a new area, you are practically required to go. Streetbird will be featuring a $12 Singapore style wings dish in a fish glaze sauce, soy nuts, and fried garlic. If that doesn't intrigue you, you can also dine on their $12 Singapore BBQ chicken skewers for a delicious twist on an American favorite.
