EATING AT MARS 2112

Looking for a different kind of restaurant? Then Mars 2112 is the place for you. Mars 2112 is a popular
restaurant in New York City. It is located in the 21st avenue, number 6. But it’s not an ordinary restaurant.
People don’t come to Mars 2112 for the food. They come for an interesting and fun experience.
The name Mars 2112 comes from the red planet – Mars. From the moment you enter the restaurant, you
feel you are in a different world. When you arrive, you sit in a “spaceship” – a round room with some chairs
in front of a screen. There are a lot of lights and the room begins to move. On the screen, you see pictures
of a rocket, stars and planets. You feel you are really flying in a spaceship. A few minutes later, you “land”
on Mars – well, actually the dining room. It has got a very high ceiling and rocky walls and the light in the
room is red. The dining room is very big and has got room for 500 people. It’s easy to identify the waiters
because they are all wearing spacesuits.
Mars 2112 is a fun place to go, but it is expensive. It costs a few dollars just to enter the restaurant. And
what about the food? Everything on the menu has got a Martian name – like Full Moon Pizza, Martian Soup
or Red Star Fried Chicken. The food is not very good according to some restaurant reviews, but you don’t
hear any complaints from the customers. They’re having too much fun to care!
