What happens when will be a new restaurant in New York city. What happens when opened in Soho past february. The great thing about this restaurant is that they will change the design, the menu and te music drastically each month. The team behind What happens when consist of 4 collaborators. One for the menu, one for the brand and identity, one for the live music and entertainment and last one is the interior design concepter behind the concept. You might think changing every month will cost loads of money, but the entire design for the first month was $5000,- and each monthly change will cost $1000,- You can see that you need to have a lot of creativity to make an interior design with that money. The pictures you see above are from the new design of March, if you want to see what they changed you can see the pictures of February below.

What is it:
A scientist of Harvard invented a machine that allows people to inhale food vapors. The device is designed by David Edwards and is called Le Whaf. Le Whaf makes a vapor of all kinds of food. Whiffers, the so-called users of this bowl, have to use a glass straw to inhale the vapors. A session of 10 minutes will give 200 calories, you also can taste alcohol, but this time without being drunk!
Why it’s cool:
Having the taste of food, but not eating it is a whole new experience. This is also a very good invention for people who are on a diet, those people can still taste the flavour of their favorite food, but aren’t gaining weight.
