Another great article on the rebirth of the Christchurch Central City in the New York Times… Revival Bar and Tequila Mockingbird get another mention as part of the revival of the Central City: Sam Heaps and Brett Giddens took a risk on a new business for a very different reason — they saw a city in need of an infusion of night life. Only months after the quake, they set up a pop-up bar in a shipping container optimistically named Revival, and within days of opening, they had a line 100 yards down the block. The duo have since added a Latin tapas restaurant, Tequila Mockingbird, next door. Mr. Giddens said that people may have called them “idiots” at the time for opening downtown, but that they were confident residents would return.” Mr. Heaps added: “We knew what we were doing because we were the target demographic. We were listening to what our peer group wanted.” nytimes/2014/04/06/travel/after-earthquakes-a-creative-rebirth-in-christchurch.html?hpw&rref=travel
