Planet Hollywood Reopens in New York with Interactive Dining Experience

Planet Hollywood is back in New York City with a new location on 42nd Street, boasting a modernized and tech-forward dining experience. The entertainment venue and restaurant have been redesigned with a $20 million investment, setting a new bar for dining and entertainment experiences.

The restaurant at 136 W. 42nd Street features a 360-degree canopy of high-definition screens and over 692 video tiles around the entire perimeter. These interactive displays offer dynamic dining and event experiences. With 8K resolution video surfaces across each floor, customers can experience different themes, from old Hollywood glamor to futuristic landscapes.

Robert Earl, Founder and CEO of Planet Hollywood and Earl Enterprises, stated that the relaunched venue aims to offer a sensory experience that blends innovative technology with Hollywood style. The restaurant plans to provide outstanding entertainment and dining in line with New York's famed theatrical grandeur.

The redesigned Planet Hollywood replaces traditional memorabilia with a comprehensive audiovisual experience. The venue uses synchronized video projections, soundscapes, and interactive elements to create a fully sensory dining experience. The third floor offers a fully immersive experience with dynamic video screens embedded in the dining room's ceiling, in addition to the screens on the four walls.

The menu at Planet Hollywood continues to focus on inventive cuisine with various appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, pasta, and entrees. Featured dishes include Kobe Cheesesteak Empanadas, Prime Rib Sliders, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, NY Strip Steak, and Lobster Pot Pie. A "1993 Icons" section also offers classics from the original Planet Hollywood menu. The restaurant is open daily from 11:00 am, serving until midnight from Sunday to Thursday and until 1 am on Fridays and Saturdays.
