The new Planet Hollywood in Times Square reopened this year after the original closure in 2020, appealing to nostalgia but presenting a vastly different experience. While the ambiance aimed to evoke memories with its décor, it fell short, featuring less memorabilia from classic films and more focus on high-definition screens displaying modern music videos. This shift changed the atmosphere from a nostalgic dining experience to one resembling a contemporary entertainment venue. The expectation of time-stopping nostalgia was replaced with modern visual distractions.
The new Times Square Planet Hollywood merges nostalgia with modernity, showcasing high-definition screens playing contemporary music videos that stray far from the restaurant's original theme.
Walking into the refreshed NYC Planet Hollywood, it appeared as expected: a red-carpet photo background and merchandise for sale. However, the dining experience felt entirely different.
