"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."
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.
