When I travel, I do like to go off the beaten path and eat like a local. But I’ve also got a nerdy American tourist side to me, and I try to go to every Hard Rock Cafe I can find on my journeys. Portugal has two of them: one in Porto, and one in Lisbon.
My rule for visiting Hard Rock Cafes is simple: have a drink at the bar, then get the shot glass. My trip to Portugal brought my total up to 24!



The Hard Rock Cafes I’ve been to, as far as I can remember: New York (the original on W 57th St. and the current in Times Square), Boston (now closed), Philadelphia, Washington DC, Chicago, Phoenix (now closed), Orlando, Miami, Maui, New Orleans, Cabo San Lucas, Cancun, Cayman Islands, St. Thomas (now closed), Bangkok, Paris (now closed), Rome, London (the original), Warsaw, Athens, Porto, and Lisbon.
