Times Square Chain Restaurants, Ranked - New York - The Infatuation
"Come For: An extremely sweet cocktail in a collectible glass, and rock memorabilia. Compared to some of the other spots in Times Square, the Hard Rock Cafe has a pretty serious selling point. If you’re a music history nerd, there’s some cool memorabilia: Paul McCartney’s bass, one of Bob Dylan’s leather jackets, and a shrine to CBGB, which is ironic, because this is one of the more corporate feeling restaurants in the area (complete with Top 40 music). You’ll walk in through a gift shop, and order off a drink menu where you can get anything in a collectible glass for just a few dollars more. The burgers and nachos are not impressive, but their commitment to merchandising is." - bryan kim, willa moore, will hartman, ciera velarde, molly fitzpatrick
