I would guess that the majority of visitors to New York's restaurant actually visited their location on 57th St. They are now located in the heart of Times Square, where the old WWF Restaurant used to be. It appears to be a big step up from the old place including a live music venue, but the location leaves much to be desired. And they don't have the old Caddy hanging off the building anymore. :(

I like Honolulu's surf-mobile above the bar, the open-air feel of Guam, the cool grandure of Moscow, the distinct Italian feel to Rome and the Riverwalk location of San Antonio. One I'm not a fan of - Orlando. That thing is TOO big.


PS - If you are looking for New orleans gear, I hear they are wiling to send it to you if you can't visit. Though this is not a permanent thing.

I'm a former employee (retail) and I'd be more than happy to answer any specific questions. I worked in Niagara Falls (US) and Cleveland.

For the first time ever, last month I ate at a Hard Rock. Wife, kids, and I vacationed down in Orlando and decided to take the kids there. My 11 yr. old son thought it would be neat to go and find Green Day paraphenalia on a wall somewhere.

That was quite possibly the loudest meal I've ever had the misfortune of partaking in... Not that I didn't know that going in. I can't even remember what I had... so I guess that tells you what I thought of the food.

Nonetheless, for the son, I acted like I was having a grand time. Actually, we did have a good time... just wish the food was better.

I am sure there is more. My brother collects the pins, so I stop and get them for him where ever I go. + the all access card is like a FF miles thing. I have made back well over 500 bucks on it.

I had a routine where I would travel for a week, I would go to denny's on monday night (cause I got out of work at 1 am), Morton's on tuesday, HRC on wenesday, Benihanas on thursday, and some other local joint friday.
