On April 2, a brand new Hard Rock Cafe began serving food and drinks in The Bronx at the brand new Yankee Stadium. On hand for the opening day festivities were New York musicians like guitarist Ace Frehley (ex-KISS), Run-D.M.C.'s Darryl McDaniels and Anthrax's Scott Ian and Frank Bello along with Yankee slugger/musician Bernie Williams.
