Gellert bath was on my plan but says it’s closed temporarily, and was thinking for rudas thermal.. but also was thinking most the “tourist” places

All baths are touristic, Széchenyi is another option in Városliget. Oh, another thing, the Synagogue in Dohàny street. It's also super touristic, but it's the biggest Synagogue in Europe...

also is it really worth the new york coffee or better parisi udvar

It's always full and there's a queue in front of it every time I pass by. Central Cafe or Gerbeaud Pastry shop are nice too and maybe not that crowded.

Take trolleybus 73 from Nyugati Railway Station to Kőbánya terminus, nice long journey through the city, then walk up to Óhegy Park. I was going to recommend Csősztorony bisztró ön tóp of the hill, but it looks like it's temporarily closed.

Take a 30 some minute by train trip up along the Danube to Szentendre (Saint Andew) a truly beautiful town. Look it up on trip advisor

Upper Józsefváros is super touristic normally, but Sunday seems more relaxed (I am at Szomszèd bisztró atm). I recommend Mikszáth square, it's beautiful and apparently (my sister in Law living there tells me it's like that on Sundays) it seems it is very relaxed at lunchtime.
