"The cozy borough of Narberth has small-town village charm to spare, with a great beer store (The Greeks Next Door, 237 Haverford Ave.), an imported cheese emporium (The Cheese Co., 217 Haverford Ave.) and even a cute Thai restaurant (Coco Thai Bistro, 231 Haverford Ave.) for a pad Thai fix. But the single best reason to visit this Main Line hamlet is Le Petit Mitron, a French patisserie from Patrick and Isabelle Rurange that is as close as we get to a true Parisian boulagerie Paris. It’s no surprise a line forms before the window curtains are lifted each morning. If there’s a better croissant in the region, I haven’t had it. All the pastries here are simply magnifiques."- Craig LaBan

“Pop-ups allow you to try things. Pop-ups allow you to prove things. And sometimes they are just meant to be temporary, and that’s fine, too,” said Jamie Gauthier, acting executive director of Fairmount Park Conservancy, a partner on The Oval+. “Our public spaces are for us. We should use them, and pop-ups allow us to do that without a high barrier to entry."-Philly.com

"People think they can do one anywhere. We've gotten lots of calls with requests like, 'We want to do one in our driveway.' That's not how it works."
