Singapore Social, a Southeast Asian restaurant from the Singapore-based team behind Roberta's Pizza expansion in Asia and Europe, is coming to 15 Avenue A between Houston and Second Street. 

Signage arrived this week. 

Per the job-opening post, the concept will focus on dishes rooted in Singaporean, Malaysian and Indonesian cooking, including Hainanese chicken rice, nasi lemak, and laksa. 

The food will be "served in a vibrant, social, neighborhood-driven space built for New York's young, curious, and culture-forward crowd," per the listing. 

The space was previously home to Roberta's spin-off Foul Witch, which closed after service on Nov. 30 after nearly three years. 

Roberta's co-founders, Brandon Hoy and chef Carlo Mirarchi, opened Foul Witch here in January 2023.

    Can only young people go? I believe I am curious & cultured - but only look young in the dark.
