Universal City Walk
In 1999 Universal Studios Orlando designing it’s own combination of
unique dining, nighttime entertainment and shopping Universal has
established itself as a major player in the Beyond the Theme Park
visitor market.
With the introduction of City Walk and it’s 10 restaurants, 4 dance clubs, half a dozen live music venues and 11 or more stores Universal has not only given guests some pretty good eateries and nighttime entertainment options, but also an ever growing sense that they need not search elsewhere for a cash register to deposit their vacation dollars into.
Parking is available in Universals parking garage
Entertainment
Dining
Universal City Walk is somewhat loud and can at times even be a little in your face. A case in point is the NASCAR Café where guests are treated not only to some of there favorite delicacies, but also to a full size race car that will intermittently start up and throttle to a noise level that would make a NASCAR pit boss sit up and take notice. But despite the sensory overload found at NBA City, which has more TV’s than a Sears TV department and the continuous Latin beat at the Latin Quarter the food is above average and hey after all you can eat at Denny’s back home.
Two of the more subdued, at least in terms of their decibel levels are Emerils’ Orlando and Pastmore’.
Emeril’s of Emeril Lagasse
