...with a vocal coach, while down the hall, Take Five, a younger-than-'N Sync quintet for pre-preteen fans, is practicing footwork with a choreographer.

...management of Poppa & Goose does not appear to share this viewpoint. Instead of apologizing to us or thanking us for pointing out a problem to her, the manager slammed the dishes down on the table and asked, in a very loud voice, "Do you want this food or not?" At that point, we voted with our feet--we simply got up and left, having waited over an hour and eaten nothing.
