"Young Londoners are used to everything around them changing quickly. They've grown up with the rave scene, and their mentality is to try new things." Waddington says, "It's all about the moment. Things become 'so yesterday,' 'so over' really fast. The great thing about a pop-up is it doesn't have time to go out of fashion." The pair are investigating building restaurants...

New York theater critics are so starved for something besides musicals to talk about on Broadway that they tend to overrate trifles like this.
