Hard Rock Cafe and Other Themed Restaurants

Definitely a teen-pleaser kind of place, this Hard Rock Cafe has a prime location at Times Square. The trademark of all Hard Rock Cafe's is rock music memorabilia, and whoever furnished this Hard Rock pulled out all the stops: fans can ogle Beatles album covers signed by all the Fab Four, an elaborate jacket worn by Bob Dylan, James Brown's gold satin suit, Prince's princely outfit, Elvis' tuxedo, hand-written lyrics by Jimi Hendrix... And, above, Ringo Starr's drums.

New York has other fun themed restaurants that kids will like: Jekyl and Hyde Club; Mars 2112, a space-themed restaurant; and Ellen's Stardust Diner, with 50's memorabilia and singing wait-staff.
