Per OI:
A whole restaurant like this? Yes, please!
Type: restaurant
Location: CityWalk
Expected opening: fall
This may be the only entry on our list to just be a rumor, but it’s a
really good one.
Here’s what we know: NBA City was closed this past August and has since been getting completely gutted to prepare it for a brand-new dining venue that is expected to open at some point in 2016 (how do we know? Elementary, Watson – Universal has indicated that it’s interested in renovating one new restaurant in CityWalk a year since the area’s massive facelift in 2014, and there aren’t any other tenants that have recently been kicked out).
And here’s what we
think we know: Universal is busy cooking up (pun certainly intended) a dessert bar of some sort, landing one of the very last types of culinary experiences left unrepresented at the resort. Rumors originally had this being a Cheesecake Factory location, but now it seems it’s going to be an original creation, along the lines of Red Oven Pizza Bakery or Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food.
While Universal hasn’t offered any official date (obviously, since it hasn’t even acknowledged the new venue’s existence yet), we currently expect it to follow the pattern established in the last few years at CityWalk: The Cowfish Sushi Burger Bar didn’t open until December 2014, and NBC Sports Grill & Brew didn’t bow until October 2015. Don’t expect the dessert oasis, then, to open anytime before
Halloween Horror Nights starts up next fall.
An original creation of a dining venue that involves dessert and chocolate will FAR outperform WWE on any day-with my visits alone
. I guess we will have to wait and see. I would hope they would appeal to the masses, and I'm sorry, if NBA didn't, there is NO WAY WWE will. Besides NBC Sports kind of encompasses ALL sports (if you can call WWE a sport).
