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.

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 don't care too much for the food, overpriced and sometimes not very good, but I keep a collection of HRC shot glasses.
