Behind Hollywood, the second theme area you will see in Universal Studios Osaka is New York, with skyscrapers in the background. The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman Ride is located here, one of the most popular attractions in the park. The other major draw is the Terminator 2 – 3D show. Be sure to visit Roses of Fame, a lovely garden with strolling paths, for a relaxing break from more intense attractions.
Park Side Grille and Azzura de Capri are two higher-end lunch restaurants overlooking the rose garden. If you would like to try Japanese food, Saido has several meal sets for a sampling of flavors. Louie’s NY Pizza Parlor specializes in pizza as the name implies. You can get it by the slice or by the whole pie. The menu also has pasta and a kid’s pizza set. This restaurant is open until 7 pm, which is later than most outside of the Hollywood theme area. Finnegan’s Bar and Grill is a better choice for adults, with a complete drinks menu and simple sides like French fries and mixed nuts.
The Universal Studios Souvenirs is the place for memorabilia from your trip. It includes standard theme merchandise and promotional items for special events held at the park. The Amazing Spiderman Store, located in a replica of an old Macy’s building, has every imaginable item related to the famous superhero. Hollywood Make-Up is a face-painting studio which can make a wide range of designs to add some color to your visit.
