what happens when

I can't remember where I originally read about What Happens When (New York, maybe?) but I was immediately intrigued by the concept - every thirty days, the menu, decor and sound change thematically. We were out on Sunday and happened to walk by (I guess that must happen pretty often in New York) and they happened to have an open table and we just so happened to have a lovely dinner. The current theme or "movement" as they called it was inspired by Renoir, specifically, the above painting. The food was French "garden party" inspired (I had the roasted chicken) and was truly delicious. Find out more here.
