8. We knew it was coming, but now San Francisco's popular restaurant, Mission Chinese, has officially opened in NYC.

9. Buyers of GoogaMooga's $250 VIP ticket, ExtraMooga, were disappointed with their GoogaMooga experience, which was not as all-inclusive as they were promised it would be. The festival organizers have promised to fully refund the $250 to anyone who purchased an ExtraMooga ticket, though, and they will be reaching out to ExtraMooga ticket holders sometime today. Now that's customer service! [TimeOutNY]
