  "account": "Singapore saw an influx of both tourists and locals at Raffles City and CHIJMES, with diners opting for outdoor seating despite the hazy conditions during the Formula 1 weekend. Air quality remained unhealthy, but businesses reported minimal impact on demand. Raffles City's manager reported business had been \"better than usual\", while Duomo Ristorante's artisanal manager noted the venue as \"super busy\" due to the race. Jim Beam's bourbon whiskey pop-up was more crowded than the restaurants, with tourists appearing less concerned about the haze than locals. Visitors expressed that they were excited to be in Singapore and would continue to brave the heat and haze outdoors, taking necessary precautions.",
  "summary": "Spots which offer both indoor and outdoor seating continue to see diners opting for tables outside, though there appear to be more tourists than locals braving the heat and haze.",
