“I Have No Words.” Discover Which Disney World Restaurant Will Take Over the Top of the Empire State Building

[Disney4me]

We often share news about our favorite restaurants in Disney World, and if you’ve been reading us for a while, you know that includes places like Homecomin’, Nomad Lounge, Wine Bar George, and several others.

But you probably also know we have a few restaurants we’re NOT that fond of, and one in particular, has several locations in Disney World. Sure, it’s a “tourist trap” type place, but kids LOVE it, so maybe it makes sense that it’s coming to the top of the Empire State Building in New York. But still, this feels like such a weird flex.

So, which restaurant are we talking about? Yep, it’s Rainforest Cafe, where you can eat okay food and watch animatronic animals do their thing. No, this isn’t a joke; the Rainforest Cafe is bringing its first location EVER to New York City. And it’s going to be at the Empire State Building because if you’re going to do the whole tourist trap thing right, you might as well go big or go home, right?

We will note that this is ONLY temporary — it’s a pop-up version of Rainforest Cafe that will be on the Empire State Building’s 86th floor Observatory on October 3rd through 6th from 10AM to 8PM. So if you’ve ever wanted to visit a Rainforest Cafe at the top of one of New York’s tallest buildings, here’s your chance.

Now, if you DO want to visit this pop-up location, you will need to purchase tickets — you can get those here. That will get you access to the 86th floor Observatory to check out the Rainforest Cafe pop-up, which will have Rainforest Cafe x Empire State Building merchandise and special food offerings for an additional cost.

What’s really funny is that it all started out as an April Fool’s Day joke when the Empire State Building announced on its social media accounts that a Rainforest Cafe would open at the top of the building. It seems like there was enough REAL interest that they just decided to do it.
