Put some couches in there and I'm a fan for sure.

A lot of people walked right by the Boulangerie while looking for a place for breakfast bc it wasn't clear by the name what it was. Today Show Cafe is pretty clear.

If it wasn't for the cheesecake sign out front I wouldn't have known it was a food place. It fit nicely with Hollywood...but it blended in so well I never even walked in.

I thought the Central Perk idea was really creative, even if it’d work better for Starbucks in the NYC section. While not the most inspired concept, kudos to universal for actually attempting better synergy.

The only negative I can pull from this is that it would fit the park so much better if it was right next the Race Through New York. But in the end, i'm not gonna care. Now I do sort of hope they replace Monsters Cafe soon-ish though. A replacement of Monsters, Shrek and move AMEX Lounge at the same time, it could allow for a ride with it's own themed eatery next door.

I am all for anything Friends in the parks. I also know that Universal, even though NBC televised it, would need permission from Warner Bros. to use Friends in the parks. I don't ever see it happening. Today show is fine.

Production Central is super detailed and well themed....Some would say Diagon level...This may stick out

Off topic, I bet Monsters is gone before the new park opens

Getting off topic, but if we're making a wishlist for restaurant replacements then can Monk's Cafe (still NBC) take over Louie's?

Monk's would probably need the approval of Sony Entertainment.

I love the Today Show Cafe! I know it from the Today Show that has that segment that is in a cafe and it's so famous all over the world.
And I bet we get inspired food items (based on their look or name because I have no idea who these people are) like;
- Peter Alexander's plain boring donut.
- Savannah Guthrie's curly cucumber salad.
- Carson Daly's scruffy cupcake.
- Kathie Lee's flatbread with botox sauce.
- Hoda Kotb's confusing letter soup.
- Libby Leist's lazy lunch.
- Tammy Filler and fuller falafel.
- Dylan Dreyer and wetter sponge cake.
- Dr. Natalie E. Azar's boring salad with nothing in it but it's healthy.
- Al Roker's smoked salmon sandwich.
And when it's your birthday a team member dressed up as a jar of Smucker's will yell it's happy you survived another year.

And you'd have probably have to pay something to the original (real) restaurant in NYC to avoid getting sued for infringement of trade dress.

Today Show is free synergy, sunrise logo conveys "coffee and danishes" in any language. I can't see having a problem with this--tho I can't see summoning up the energy to care, either.

Facts, the whole post. I will say I'd have liked a Hello Kitty cafe, but I'm not gonna piss and moan over this, either

Disney has had the "ABC Commissary" for like decades and we're all okay with that.

I don't see an issue, especially since there's like a 0 chance I'll ever go in this place
