TODAY Cafe

[GAcoaster]

I'm expecting this be very much like the queue of Fallon. Almost a museum of the Today Show that happens to sell coffee and baked goods.

While it’s a good show, it’s far too niche imo.

I demand Beignet and the Jets!

Too niche, and -- sorry guys -- way way too smart for a theme park property.

The Today Show just doesn't make sense. It's shot in NYC and not even remotely food oriented. Central Perk would work except NYC oriented again. If they are turning Shrek into DreamWorks Theater, I could see it becoming Mr. Ping's Noodle House.

Funny enough, I was thinking of Ping's Noodle House as-well. Especially if DWT comes sooner than later, with Kung Fu Panda from Hollywood headlining it at the start; it could make sense to bring it and pair it with a Mr. Ping meet & greet.

...that said, who's to say this couldn't be just a "NBC" Cafe, with using the NBC branding more than what The Today Show is?

The Boulangerie makes a lot of its money from coffee and breakfast items when people first arrive to the park. Playing up the morning coffee/breakfast baked goods theme, Today Show Cafe fits just fine.

It fits the cafe, but is way out of theme given the cafes location in the park.

I don’t think it matters. Just branding a restaurant like NBC Sports Grill & Brew. It’s a recognizable name, and it’s near the front of the park enough for me not to care about land integrity. It’s got the Hello Kitty store and Studio Store around it. Not exactly realistic theming until you cross the street by Brown Derby.

Yes, I agree with you. That area really has no theme integrity. It's close enough to Production Central that it easily could be considered part of that thematic hodgepodge.

If they fixed the entrance plaza/Production Ave to actually feel like a stand-alone hub, this wouldn’t be a discussion.

If slapping an IP on a little cafe near the entrance to USF makes papa Comcast happy, and keeps the billions of dollars coming for new rides, parks and resorts, so be it. Gotta make papa money bags happy. And this is a small concession.

So? The people who’d get it would love it and everybody else would see a generic cafe like it is now except they can throw an IP and some merchandise inside.

My money says they do something like the Today cafe for the wine moms who don't care about Harry Potter.

As long as they keep the Lavazza coffee I'm ok with it.

I could get behind a wine bar.

Sounds good. You serve. I'll drink. :toast:

Why don’t they add the cancelled MIB restaurant from back in the day next to MIB? Anyone have anymore info about that concept?
