A restaurant dedicated to a mobile game that has evolved into a global media franchise is opening in downtown Flushing, Queens.
iSwii by Angry Birds Retail Cafe — the world’s first Angry Birds-themed retail café –— is set to open on Saturday, July 8, in the 275,000-sq.-ft. retail center at Tangram, a mixed-use development project that spans 1.2 million sq. ft. The center includes a food hall inspired by the open-air markets of big Asian cities. (Flushing is home to a large Asian population.)
The 3,300-sq.-ft. restaurant will combine desserts, bubble teas and other offerings with gaming stations, a retail section and unique interactive activities. The space features a collection of Instagrammable NYC-themed installations outside the entrance, an eye-catching ceiling mural with Angry Birds graphics, a vibrant terrazzo counter and flooring that is designed to resemble dessert sprinkles.
