Read on the Orlando Sentinal that there will be a press event at Citywalk today with new announcements and an update on Diagon Alley. Anxiously awaiting the news. Anybody know what they are going to announce?
 
Eating at Mythos now. I will try to check it out no promises.

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.

The italian restaurant is named "Pranzo".

There are still more announcements coming.

I'm following along on my Twitter feed. Sounds like a ton of news. A couple things I overheard/noticed. The reference to the size of Diagon Alley....A very big space with more shops and restaurants than Hogsmeade according to some of the creators. Diagon Alley will open this summer. I also noticed in the press release that Universal is calling 2014 "An epic year for Universal". I wonder if there is more in store for 2014? :rolleyes1
 
Like the sound of The Cowfish, Hot Dog place and Cold Stone Creamery

Not fussed on Italian restaurants.......except for Pizza and Lasagne :thumbsup2
 
I'm looking forward to all the new eateries! And will make it my solemn duty.. to provide coverage and food pics.. for this forum.

Your welcome.
 
I'm trying to figure which if any current places will be replaced. The Latin Quarter?

This all looks great.

Antojitos replaces Latin Quarter, Pranzos replaces Pastamore.

Katie's Candy Shop, Cigarz, and TCBY are also closing.
 
Does anyone know when the openings and closure will take place? I was hoping to get some TCBY on our trip in a few weeks. Will it already be closed. Also the mexican place sounds good, when will it open? Has any time frame been posted anywhere. Just wondering if when I go in early January if everything is going to be closed for this project????
 
I thought that Cigarz had its fans? Interesting and thanks for the info.

Cigarz would be a loss - nice, fairly quiet place for a bourbon and a smoke. I sure hope it isn't being sacrificed for something that statistics show will produce more income. . .
 
i had read there was a rumor that jeckyl & Hyde as coming to citywalk.
any chance or just someone's wish......:confused3

Just a rumor at this point but I have a feeling more announcements are coming. As to what those announcements are? I have no idea.
