Planet Hollywood has returned to New York City, with a new, $20 million location at 136 West 42nd St., in a technology-driven space that it said sets a new standard for unparalleled dining and entertainment experiences.
Instead of traditional memorabilia, the restaurant redefines Hollywood glamor beneath a 360-degree canopy of state-of-the-art, high-definition screens. Encircling the entire perimeter is an impressive array of over 692 video tiles delivering cutting-edge dining and event experiences through dynamic and interactive displays. With 8K resolution video surfaces spread across each floor, diners can be transported to thematic worlds ranging from old Hollywood glamour to futuristic landscapes.
“We’re relaunching Planet Hollywood in Times Square not just as a restaurant but as an all-encompassing sensory experience that magnificently combines innovative technology with the unique flair of Hollywood,” said Robert Earl, founder and CEO of Planet Hollywood and Earl Enterprises. “This venue is poised to deliver exceptional entertainment and dining in the spirit of New York’s celebrated theatrical grandeur.”
A canopy of glowing stars hangs overhead, and synchronized screens offer video projections, soundscapes and interactive elements that turn dining into a fully sensory affair. The restaurant’s third floor features dynamic video screens embedded into the dining room’s ceiling, adding to the screens on the four walls.
The menu consists of elevated, yet approachable appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and entrees. Highlights include Kobe Cheesesteak Empanadas, Prime Rib Sliders, All-American Double Smash Cheeseburger, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, NY Strip Steak and Lobster Pot Pie. Guests can also enjoy the nostalgic “1993 Icons” section with beloved classics that pay homage to Planet Hollywood’s original menu including the World-Famous Chicken Crunch, Planet Nachos Grande, L.A. Lasagna and St. Louis BBQ Ribs.
