Mars 2112

The Mars 2112 Restaurant was one of many tourist-targeted restaurants in the Times Square district of New York City, based on future space travel and accommodations. At 33,000 sq ft, it was the largest such themed restaurant when it opened in November 1998.
The restaurant closed in January 2012.

Because of this, this mug holds a special place in my collection.  It's always good to find a mug which is not a national brand name.   Above you can see the front of the mug, a dark square on which it says "Make the journey."  

When hot liquid is added, the dark rectangle clears showing the restaurant's logo, and the locale.  "MARS 2112, NEW YORK"
