CORRECTION: Oct. 24, 2013
An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the original location of UpStairs at the Pudding. In fact, it was housed on the third floor of the Hasty Pudding Club at 10 Holyoke St., not on the third floor of the Holyoke Center. The article also incorrectly stated that UpStairs at the Pudding’s owners bought a space at the corner of Winthrop and JFK Streets, while in fact they leased that space.
