Hard Rock Cafe Times Square Pictures {Manhattan NY}

August 18, 2015 by Dawn McAlexander

Hard Rock Cafe Times Square Pictures {Manhattan NY}

Last month when I went to NYC, I made a point to visit Times Square. I was pleased to find a Hard Rock Cafe there. Any of you that know me may know about my obsession with the chain of restaurants. Anytime we go on vacation, I try to see if there is a Hard Rock Cafe in the area so that I can visit. If you are fan like I am, check out my Hard Rock Cafe Times Square pictures for yourself.

It’s not everyday that Lenny Kravitz greats you at the door.

This isn’t the best picture of the KISS instrument, but a guy was standing in front of it forever so I couldn’t get a better one. However, one does not simply leave Hard Rock Cafe without getting Jay pics of all the KISS memorabilia {ALL THE THINGS!}.

Though not pictured, I also made sure to get a pin from Hard Rock Cafe. I used to collect shot glasses, but I rarely drink and these things are glass and take up a lot of room. Since visiting Disney World last year, I decided to switch to pin collecting and trading.

    I’ve been to the Hard Rock Cafe, but not this one in NYC. Sounds like I need to add that to my bucket list!

    I have been there! But not for a long time. I haven’t been to NYC since 2010 – wow – I need to get back there soon!

    Cobb salad is delicious.
    I’ve never been to this Hard Rock Cafe! I’ve been to just one, and sadly, I can’t remember if it was the Vegas one or maybe Orlando? I just know I did it!

      I have been to the one in Washington DC, Gatlinburg, Myrtle Beach {it looks like a pyramid!} and maybe the one in Orlando. I also saw the one in Grand Cayman, but didn’t go in. I hate that I didn’t now, lol.

    I love that Hard Rock! This makes me miss living in Manhattan!

      You lived in Manhattan? Lucky you! I think it would be cool to live there but worry about the cost of places to live.

    I love the Hard Rock, but I haven’t been to the one in NYC – but let’s talk about that Cobb Salad! OMG I WANT IT now! That looks AMAZING

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      August 19, 2015 at 9:12 pm

      No lie, that was the BEST Cobb Salad that I had ever had. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I always heard about this place … It looks so Big! You Cob Salad looks great. How about that .. Lenny meets you at the door

      August 19, 2015 at 9:11 pm

      It was really cool that Lenny Kravitz greeted us. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I was all, “Well hello, Lenny.” Lol. I wonder if they change the mannequin out since it was on loan from Madame Toussaud’s?

    I really have to make sure to head back there with my sister. She’s always my trip partner for NY and this would be great to see for myself.

    I love your photos! I have been to the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square, but it’s been a decade! I do remember loving it…the food is great, but the atmosphere and backdrop is really the best part!

    We visit New York City a few times a year for business and while I have passed the hard rock, I have not stopped in for years. Must change that after these pics!

    I used to collect shot glasses from places too. I don’t anymore though. I like to visit Hard Rock.

      What made you stop collecting shot glasses, too?
