Hard Rock Cafe New York City: A Rock N Roll Party in Times Square

Sharing is caring!

Hard Rock Cafe, New York City is in the heart of Times Square. Located on Broadway you won’t find much more of an iconic location. Hard Rock Cafe New York will rock your senses with tantalizing food and drinks and an awe-inspiring collection of music memorabilia.

Hard Rock Cafe New York City

Chances are you have been to a Hard Rock Cafe on vacation at some point. I love music, so this is always a fun place to visit on my trips. I have found that each and every cafe is different. The New York City cafe is housed in the old Paramount Theater. I love that they use old buildings and re-imagine them for many cafe’s.

As one of the city’s largest entertainment destinations, Hard Rock Cafe New York features a 708-seat restaurant and a massive 1,800-square-foot Rock Shop with authentic Hard Rock merchandise. Furthermore, the cafe boasts an outdoor space above the building’s historic marquee, where you can host a killer private party high above Times Square. Rumor is you can rent this space for somewhere around $35,000 for the night of New Years Eve.

This is a million dollar view, so hey what’s $35,000?

Food and Drink at Hard Rock

Most of the cafe’s have generally the same menu. And that’s cool, why change something if it works. I almost always get a margarita and a burger. If I am craving some pasta I will go with the Twisted Mac n Cheese, it’s really good. At the suggestion of our server we tried the all new Cauliflower Buffalo Bites, our table had mixed reviews but personally I really liked them.

This Cafe also serves a breakfast buffet daily from 8 am 10 am. Buffet Includes Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, Potatoes, Oatmeal, Whole and Sliced Fruit, Bagels, Muffins, Breakfast Pastries and Cereal. Pancakes, waffles & french toast made to order. New York is the city that never sleeps, so may as well feed em when you can!

Memorabilia Tour

Did you know that Hard Rock Cafe will give FREE tours of the restaurant and all of its great rock and roll history? I often ask for the tours because you just never know what you may find. When you check in for your table be sure to ask! The New York Cafe was full of great stuff from the Beatles, Elvis, Prince and Janis Joplin to name a few.

If there are no tours available feel free to explore the cafe on your own.

Next time you visit New York City be sure to make time for the Hard Rock Cafe’.
