Mars 2112: Closed Times Square Spaceship Trap

A 33,000 sq ft UFO elevator ride promised Mars but delivered bankruptcy and mediocre bar food.

The gimmick ate the quality; the elevator never took off.

The Take

Order nothing at Mars 2112. The Slop Score is 81.

The spaceship elevator and 33k sq ft alien decor lured tourists to a 400-seat Times Square spectacle where the food stayed an afterthought.

The gimmick consumed any chance at decent food or repeat business. Tourist magnets like this collapse when the spectacle outruns the plate.
