June 30th, 2014 is a long time. I wonder if it'll still come back as Pastamore?

Looking at Seth's picture, I lean much more to the Spanish Mission, mainly because of the arch and column shapes. The color scheme is what is bothering me about the style, not sure why or if it is because of the "gothic" stuck in my head but even with that the white is weird as a trim color. It just does not look right to me, but then again I will withhold judgement on if I like it or not until it is done.

From Universal's FB
We’re getting ready to make the biggest announcement in CityWalk’s history this Thursday.

Doubt we'll get anything more than info for CW from the sound of things.... not that there's anything wrong with that.

Exciting. Looking forward to hearing tomorrow's announcement, was this about the time the polar coaster was to be announced too, coincidence? Not saying that's what it is but I remember reading the location would be announced in 3 weeks and that was about 3 weeks ago.

That would definitely fit the "biggest announcement in City Walk history" claim! Would be quite the surprise :stunned:

I asked @UORBuzz to get pics of the mystery restaurant (Antojitos?) and he was very kind to get these:

No need to quote images

Images spared.

Actually, yeah. I've seen some amazing things happen at UO as far as construction, but even I am skeptical of this being done before Christmas day and peak week.

I wouldn't be surprised if it did open, though. They just need to put a lot of man power onto it and work nearly 24/7. Luckily it's not the same team as 722 so that wouldn't affect it.

Universal Orlando Unveils Expansion Plans for Universal CityWalk
UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT UNVEILS EXPANSION PLANS
FOR ITS CITYWALK ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX

Historic Expansion Kicks off an Epic Year for Universal Orlando Resort

ORLANDO, Fla. (Dec. 12, 2013) – Universal Orlando's CityWalk will undergo a historic expansion during 2014 - all part of an epic year for Universal that will include the opening of the destination's largest hotel, Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley.

Universal Orlando announced Thursday that it will open eight new venues across CityWalk throughout 2014 as part of a bold growth strategy designed to complement the entertainment complex's already popular collection of national brands.

The expansion comes after a nationwide search for culinary concepts that include a mix of established national brands, up-and-coming concepts and Universal's own creations. The new venues will share an overall theme that includes inviting common areas, al fresco dining, open kitchens and more.

"We want Universal CityWalk to grow along with the rest of our destination," said Ric Florell, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Resort Revenue Operations at Universal Orlando. "We are bringing our guests an amazing new collection of experiences that will be world-class and offer something for everyone."

The new venues include Hot Dog Hall of Fame, featuring iconic hot dog creations from some of our nation’s most famous ball parks. Universal partnered with Steven Schussler, the global culinary concept creator behind popular restaurants like Rain Forest Cafe, Backfire Barbecue and more, to bring his Hot Dog Hall of Fame concept to CityWalk. They also include CowFish, an innovative and trend-setting concept out of Charlotte, North Carolina with a signature dish called "Burgushi;" and popular frozen treat spots Cold Stone Creamery and Menchie’s.

Original concepts include Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food, a unique tapas-style restaurant, Bread Box, a home-style sandwich shop; A new modern Italian kitchen concept, where guests can watch as the culinary team handcrafts their pasta from scratch; and Red Oven Pizza Bakery – Universal’s first-ever Neopolitan-style pizza bakery, which is now open.

A full list of new venues and descriptions can be found below. Exact opening dates will be released at a later time.

Since its opening in 1999, Universal CityWalk has served as the “entertainment capital of Orlando,” quickly becoming the hottest place in town among locals and visitors to grab a bite to eat, catch a movie, dance the night away and more. The two-tiered, 30-acre complex features a collection of nightclubs, restaurants and shops themed after some of the most recognizable names in entertainment, including Bob Marley – A Tribute to Freedom, Emeril’s Restaurant Orlando, Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville and Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. Universal CityWalk is also home to Rising Star – an energetic karaoke club where guests can perform with a live band and backup singers, the 36-hole mini-golf course, Hollywood Drive-In Golf, and the indescribable, nationally-renowned live show, Blue Man Group.

NEW UNIVERSAL CITYWALK VENUES - OPENING THROUGHOUT 2014

NOW OPEN – Red Oven Pizza Bakery: Take a quick trip to Italy for authentic, artisan pizza--made fresh, while you wait--at Universal CityWalk’s first-ever Neopolitan-style pizza bakery. The combination of the highest quality ingredients and a traditional 900-degree stone-lined oven ensures every slice is pizza perfection.

Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food: Take a journey through the cantinas, street carts, and markets of Mexico for unique tapas-style dining at Antojitos Authentic Mexican Food. Only the freshest ingredients are used to create craveable, made from scratch Mexican street fare in an environment of unmatched authenticity.

Hot Dog Hall of Fame: Strike out your hunger at Hot Dog Hall of Fame with some of the most iconic hot dog creations from our nation’s most famous ballparks. Take a seat in the bleachers and enjoy a loaded Chicago dog with all the toppings, a perfectly charred Boston brat, a monster LA dog and more.

The Cowfish: Innovative sushi joins forces with creative burgers for an untraditional dining experience at this reincarnation of the popular North Carolina hotspot. The result: "Burgushi". A cutting-edge fusion of burger and sushi, burgushi items include sushi rolls created using burger components and sandwiches created using sushi elements.

A new modern Italian kitchen concept: Immerse yourself in the essence of modern Italian cuisine at this new restaurant created by Universal Orlando. Watch as the culinary team handcrafts your pasta from scratch to create fresh takes on classic dishes in a clean, contemporary dining atmosphere.

Cold Stone Creamery: For more than 25 years, Cold Stone Creamery has served up the finest, freshest ice cream, cakes, smoothies and shakes using only the highest quality ingredients and their signature process of preparing your custom ice cream creation on a frozen granite stone.

Bread Box: With a Bread Box sandwich, you’ll be transported back to your childhood kitchen or your favorite street corner deli. Here you’ll find that the combination of quality meats and vegetables, fresh bread, and simple preparation can transform a sandwich into something more.

Menchie’s: One of the world’s most popular frozen yogurt shops is coming to Universal CityWalk. The dream was to create a place where people from all walks of life and ages could enjoy themselves—not only with great tasting, quality frozen yogurt and an expansive self-serve toppings bar, but with a unique experience in a fun and happy environment that makes you smile.

More quick serve is a good idea, and these sound fun; also like the idea of Cold Stone and the froyo place. But moving farther away from the idea of an adult-oriented nightlife district.
