Restaurant Magnus and Osteria Papavero stage an urban picnic with their Summer Fling
Forget Michelin stars, degustation menus and haute dining. Pop-up restaurants and locavore love-ins -- usually involving communal tables set up on organic farms, bushels of freshly foraged produce and a few boys in porkpie hats -- have become the truest culinary status symbols, and for good reason. If your measure of a perfect meal is the time it takes for dinner to get from farm to table, then you might as well plant yourself on the farm itself.
