I want to take a moment to apologize for the mistake regarding dates in the video video specifically about NBC Grill & Brew, which opened in 2015, not 2021 as I stated. A huge thank you to everyone who pointed that out in the comments! Moving forward, I’ll be making sure to double down on my research to ensure accuracy and prevent mistakes like this from happening again. I truly appreciate your support, and I’m grateful for this community. Thank you all!
Singing karaoke with a live band behind me for my birthday while my coworkers cheered me on like I was the frontman at my own concert at CityWalk was a big highlight of my time down there.
They didn’t remove the plane completely it’s being refurbished and will be back next year. Also I think it’s cool to note that the plane is Jimmy buffet’s original personal sea plane the Hemisphere Dancer. Universal bought it dismantled and put it back together for their park!
I enjoyed this video, and am excited to see more videos from you. I do want to mention that NBC Sports Grill & Brew opened in October of 2015, the Hemisphere will return this year. Can’t wait for Part 2
Great video ! Subscribed. I got my first tattoo at H&H in City walk. Lots of great Universal memories over the years. Thanks for the old pics- I’d forgotten the parking lot right by studios!
Love watching your videos you bring so much information and research into your videos that I learn something new about universal every time I watch one of your videos! Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos!
Guys pay attention this is the newest and best theme park channel on TH-cam. I think the only one that matches your content/editing skills is Poseidon - dont know if you've checked him out but he is great. Ive enjoyed all your videos (i travel for business and every year stop in to Disney/Universal) and can't wait to see what you have in store. Please dont forget Bob Marley's spot in citywalk, food is decent but the live band playing all of Marley's hit and everyone singing and dancing make it my favorite night time venue in City Walk even if you dont care for Bob that much. Everytime i go to Orlando i pray it hasnt closed down as many nights its empty due to its location and what i feel like is not enough marketing for such a unique dining spot. Anyways keep up the great work, we all appreciate it very much!
RIP a lot of the retail offerings, I used to work at Fresh Produce from 2018-2019 and have really fond memories of it and the neighboring shops. Now that whole strip of shops is just one giant universal store lmao
Great editing, loved seeing all of the older videos of the original locations. With your narration, it's clear this is a passion project. 👌 I disagree with the classification of Antojitos or Vivo being a different class of restaurant than Margaritaville. Margaritaville's theming is the crown jewel of CityWalk, but the upscale menu of Vivo should count. The live music at Antojitos also makes it stand out. Thus, the criteria for this video was a little inconsistent; I'd have just divided it up into several parts regardless of classification. I hope you still cover Bubba Gump's predecessor, Motown Cafe; I haven't seen much on that. Great work! The 2000s era UOR has passed into legend.
I was going to comment this as well. I definitely wouldn’t say Vivo or Antonio’s is “way less casual” than NBC sports grill. If anything it’s the other way around.
This is a really good video, i never knew how much i wanted to learn about the original CityWalk. When you're done with your series about the Orlando CityWalk, would you consider covering the CityWalk in Hollywood? Thanks. Also, I think your audio mixing needs a bit more work. It felt like the background music was trying to overpower your voice, it was most noticeable in the Toothsome section.
I’d absolutely love to cover Hollywood’s CityWalk in the future! As for the audio, thank you so much for the feedback I’m still working on fine tuning everything to make it click perfectly. I really appreciate you pointing that out so I can continue improving.
will you do the one in hollywood, i know for tourists the orlando parks is the first universal they go to but hollywood is where they film tv and movies can see celebrities and its the original plus itll be nbc’s base of operation for the world cup and olympics so youll see plenty of it in the next few years.
NBC was such a let down, honestly i avoid it at all cost. there's so many other choices with interesting theming and better menus i would never step foot in NBC. Especially when it's so busy, the feeling of a sports bar is just anxiety inducing. the layout of the whole restaurant is a mess. i miss the theming of nascar so much it was so nostalgic.

This place has better care for their display aircraft than NAS Jax. Like… it’s crazy.

And, please don't forget about Pat Briens! Love the themeing, the outside patio, and the entertainment. The food has always been pretty good too!
Another banger. Keep it up!

I never got to experience the Nascar Cafe in Orlando but I did eat at the one that was in Tennessee a couple times as a kid.

My parents ate at Emerils twice and to this day, my dad says it was the best meal he ever had. He had the pork chop in a green mole sauce.

3:25 Why did Margaritaville go dark lol #RIPJimmy

Loved the video
However NBC Sports Grille didn’t open in 2021 just saying
I appreciate that, I must’ve mixed up some dates when writing everything, my apologies.
I see where the Arcane characters be eating.
This is a big assumption, but I take it you've followed the Citywalk Sagas of the revered Podcast the Ride?
I have not, I’ve actually never heard of them,but now that you say something I’ll definitely be looking into it.
dude sounds like Kermit
