Couldn't have said it better myself (and didn't).
Along the lines of the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, I will say that I stayed next door to the Hard Rock Cafe during my week in London, and never set foot in the place. But given that it is the original (I think), maybe it is the only Hard Rock in the world that would qualify as "good touristy."
