I don't feel like such a nerd knowing I'm not so alone in collecting HRC shirts.

Orlando Minneapolis I think I'm forgetting one or two but thats already a decent list... Is there a thead like this for Hooters??? :D |

My HRC T-shirt/shirt collection (includes now defunct locations):
Edmonton Vancouver Toronto Skydome Houston Las Vegas Hollywood Honolulu San Diego Washington, DC New York New Orleans Kona Cancun Puerto Vallarta Edinburgh Berlin Munich Amsterdam Madrid Rome London Mykonos Hong Kong Tokyo Kuala Lumpur Sydney Singapore Cairo My fave is a midnight blue Honolulu T with a fairly plain front but on the back a guitar surrounded with white flames and the "Pray For Surf" motto around the edge. ^ I see Bucharest is getting one in June, which is a few months before I arrive on my cheap NW tkt. ^ I'm also stopping for 8 hours in Houston, so will probably get into the Houston HRC and get another shirt rather than sit at the airport. |
I'm sure you can dedicate an exclusive HRC wardrobe at home! :D

Wow, I'm a real amateur compared to you folks. I've only got a few:
Yokohama Tokyo-Roppongi Lisbon Honolulu I always get a pilsner glass. It's funny; I lived in Atlanta for 7 years and it never dawned on me to go by there. |
In order of first visit:
Copenhagen Oslo (First time was under a week after the opening. Been there a lots of time since, as I live an hour away..) Gothenburg Stockholm (That's actually all Hard Rocks in Scandinavia..) Will hopefully add the following on my trip to the US this summer: New York Cleveland Chicago Hollywood (CA) |

The Redbeards just added another HRC in San Juan. Updated my main list.

Chicago
DC Next month..... Oslo. Looking forward to it! |
Although I have lost interest in HRC's, I was a huge pin collector about 12 years ago and visited the following cafe's during the time I collected:
San Francisco Sacramento Los Angeles Hollywood San Diego La Jolla Phoenix Las Vegas Lake Tahoe Guadalajara Mexico City New York Boston Miami Orlando New Orleans Chicago Bali Iceland London Paris Niagara Falls, Canada Niagara Falls, USA Toronto Skydome Toronto Montreal Ottawa Beijing Osaka Tokyo Kobe Cancun Acapulco Puerto Vallarta Singapore Bangkok Atlantic City Baltimore Denver Gatlinburg Hollywood, FL Honolulu Houston Key West Philadelphia San Antonio St. Louis Washington, DC Newport Beach I was just in Dallas and noticed that the original location is now closed. |
Anyone been to the Honolulu HR, lately? We'll be there in June and I'll have to have a t-shirt.

The Big Glasses @ HRC
I collect big glasses as a testament to my travels- not because I love the food. It is simply more economical to have one item from each locale, rather then shopping shopping shopping. Plus, it looks uniform when displayed AND you can use the glasses at parties- thats cool as long as dumb asses don't break them.
I collect glasses from where I've been- even if the cafe is closed. For instance, I've been to Aspen. I can't find that glass. I'm trying. When I head to Belfast, I'll look for that glass even though that cafe closed in 2004. Etc. I guess I'm a typical when it comes to souvenir at HRC. I prefer the large glasses- not the shot glasses. As a result, my suitcase has become rather full as I roamed about Europe trying to collect them. Oddly enough, I found myself attending cities I had no interest in (Birmingham, England; Catania, Sicily, etc). Here's my current list: Houston Dallas Austin San Antonio New Orleans (my first glass) Memphis Louisville Nashville Gatlinburg Hollywood, FL Biloxi Destin Tampa Bay Baltimore Washington D.C. Orlando Miami New York Boston Indianapolis Detroit Cleveland St. Louis Phoenix Chicago La Jolla San Diego LA Honolulu Hollywood, CA Cancun Cozymel Tijuana Atlanta Barcelona Rome Catania Munich London Amsterdam Kowloon Madrid Whistler Kanata, Ontario Birmingham, England St.Thomas Denver Newport Beach Nottingham, England That's 49 total? My wife is headed to Mexico City and Guadalajara this summer, to I'll get those two; my personal edict requires that I either attend personally or someone purchases it for me without my request. If that occurs, then I have to visit that cafe within a couple of years. This winter I'm headed to China, so that'll be Beijing. My wife and I were planning on driving up to New England for Christmas...that would have been when I hit Toronto, and Niagra Falls US and Canada...but this opportunity came up for me to go to Beijing sooooooo.......... I still need to hit some of the obscure cafe's here in the U.S. like Minneapolis, Pittsburg, Foxrun, Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Myrtle Beach. I really want San Fran, Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, and Las Vegas. The hard one will be Key West, Cayman Islands, Jamaica and Bahamas. Maybe I'll take a cruise for three of them and do a weekend trip to Bahamas. It doesn't cost much to fly over from Miami. My wife and I are planning a back packing trip to Ireland, France, Greece, and North Africa in '08. That'll give me Dublin, Manchester, Leeds, Paris, (and maybe a quick trip over to Berlin and Cologne via Ryan Air). I'll hit Athens, and then Cairo, Hurghada, and Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt. God knows whenever I'll make it to Scandanavia and get Oslo, Copenhangen, Gothenburg, and Stockholm. I kick myself for not hitting Lisbon when in Spain, and obscure places like Cabo San Lucas, Alcapulco, and Puerto Vallerta will have to be hit on a pacific cruise. I don't know if a cruise visits all of those places. Did anyone know they just opened Santa Domingo in the Caribbean? I'm not sure I'm headed all the way there for just a glass. That's a little obsessive *cough cough. I'm looking for Ft. Lauderdale (been to the city, not to the cafe...closed in 2000). Recently Bristol in England closed. It was only a bar, but they had a glass. I kick myself for not attending it when I was in London. Eventually...someday, I want to have been to every city HRC has had a presence in. |

I won't comment on the restaurant food prices in Norway (and god forbid the beer prices...) as everything is expensive, but I had a burger at the HRC in Oslo a few weeks ago, and I won't go back :td: If you want a burger, or similar type food, at an "American" style restuarant on Karl Johan in Oslo, I would pick TGIF. |
Added Washington, DC tonight. :)

You know, back in high school, I decided to start the Hard Rock tee collection, which started in Honolulu.
After finding out each tee was $20, my collection stopped at one. :p |

The HR t-shirts go for about $1-$3 in your local thrift store. Enjoy.

Double :( :( as I checked the HRC website and it seems they've pushed back the open date for Bucharest to "Fall 2007" from what had been a June open date. Was going to be one stop I had planned for my NW OTP run in Aug., but not now. :(
|
I've only been to three hard rock cafes so far, and one of those is in my home country of the UK. The others were LA and Copenhagen.
The one thing I love about the Hard Rock Cafe is that the staff always seem to enjoy their jobs, and they give better, more friendly service than most 'posh' restaurants I've been to. I don't collect the T-Shirts, yet, as they seem so expensive, but I think I might start... I didn't realise there was a HRC in Tokyo! I can't wait to go there now :) |

That me reminds me of a visit to the Hard Rock in Oslo with my sister and a friend of hers: As you might know, there's free refill of soda, and sometimes they ask you if you want more, sometimes you gotta ask them, which is no big deal..However this one time, as I was about to finish my Pepsi (I always seem to drink up first..), the waitress suddenly appeared with three new glasses of soda without even asking us first.. That's what I would call great service. And before the meal was over, we got even another refill without asking.. I don't need to say that she got a few extra NOK as tips that day.. However, I did also experience once - again with my sister and a friend - that my sisters friend didn't get her hamburger. She asked the waiter, who apologized, and promised her a free ice-cream. When we got the bill, the ice cream was on it.. However, we didn't bother and paid for it anyway.. |

Dallas has one. It seems kinda small on the inside but there is an upstairs with an excellent view of the stage and an outside area.

Added the Hard Rock in Amsterdam a month ago. Service a little slow, but great location. Very close to museum's and right next door to the casino.

My HRC List
WOW! I just found this thread and amazed at the different HRC's people have been to. I've been a HUGE t-shirt collector and just recently a Huntington Bear Company collector Here's a list of where I've been:
Houston (hometown) Dallas (first ever HRC I visited, the original) New York City Washington D.C. Baltimore Orlando New Orleans Austin (sad it's now closed) San Antonio Phoenix Denver San Francisco Los Angeles Beverly Center Los Angeles Universal Maui Guam Makati-Manila Buenos Aires London Paris Berlin Munich Rome Amsterdam Madrid Barcelona Montreal Toronto Tonronto-SkyDome Niagara Falls Canada Niagara Falls USA Las Vegas Las Vegas Hotel Atlanta San Diego Friends/family got me stuff from these HRC's: Beirut Kona Stockholm Key West Nashville Mad that I didn't make it to the Sydney one, but vow to visit it some day soon! Can't wait to add Lisbon, Oslo, Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Osaka, Melbourne, and Narita to my growing list!!!!!!!!!! |
We walked by the San Antonio HRC last weekend. The timing didn't work out for some nachos or twisted mac. :(
BTW - Washington DC shirts are great! |
Added Las Vegas. I finally got the cool double dragon back design. The LV City shirt has a showgirl and dice on the back. Kinda cheesy...
|
Adding one more to my list...
...hit the HRC Hong Kong this past afternoon.
|
I've been collecting shot glasses (just the basic logo for uniformity)
domestic Hollywood San Fransisco Washington DC Houston Austin (closed) Maui (only one I haven't visited, thanks mom!) Orlando Lousiville Nashville Miami Salt Lake City International Montreal Mexicio City London Berlin Munich Koln (made a special trip to just get) Rome Moscow, Still my favorite club, it had been open two weeks when I visited and after living in Russia for two months looked like a beacon of American to a home sick college student. It is actually a very nice multi-story venue. |
Haven't been to one in forever except in Tijuana because I knew they would probably have a decent bathroom (they did).

-Updated again on June 12,2010 with more locations....
I updated with a few additional locations since my original post... I just visited the fairly new HRC in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico over the weekend. The San Juan site is very nice and I would recommend it. I'll try to list my other visits that come to mind: - Manila (Makati City), Philippines - Tokyo Roppongi - Hong Kong - Rome - London - Madrid - Whistler (Now Closed) - Aruba (Now Closed) - Hollywood - Santa Monica - Grand Cayman Island - Now Closed (Open Again, as of Summer 2010!) - Cancun - Cozumel - Dallas (Both Old and New locations) - Houston - New York (One of my first HRC visits, I blew $500 on a HRC New York Leather jacket when i was 21! :D - Wash DC - Baltimore - Philadelphia - St Louis - Orlando Universal City Walk - Miami - Chicago - Denver - San Juan - Las Vegas - Toronto Sky Dome - Toronto Yonge Street - New Orleans - Atlantic City - San Francisco - San Diego - New Delhi, India, Saket City Mall - Yankee Stadium, New York I'll update as I remember more locations. I have my old shotglass collection in a closet somewhere that my wife won't let me "display". It looked great in my bachelor pad 10 years ago. I now collect the costumed Huntington bears for my 4 year old. The Rome bear is in a gladiator costume. The London bear is in a Buckingham palace guard costume. Denver is in a snow-boarder costume. San Juan is a pirate. Etc.... Not all locations seem to have the costumed bears but I buy them when I see them. My son's favorite is the Panda bear from Hong Kong HRC. J_Hawk |
