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.

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 |
