At the Golden Girls Kitchen, a pop-up restaurant in New York, friendship and cheesecake are on the menu.
Usually I love dining alone in restaurants. But it felt wrong to be eating solo at the, a pop-up restaurant in Manhattan devoted to the classic sitcom that celebrated friendship above everything. It wasn’t supposed to happen like this; the longtime pal and confidante I had planned to meet canceled on me, citing one of the illnesses that seems to be felling just about everyone this season.
I was seated just around the corner from one of the highlights of the two-story space: a faithful re-creation of the well-trafficked boudoir of Blanche Devereaux, the show’s resident sex-positive Southern belle. A stream of diners posed on the bed, which was draped in that iconic banana-leaf-printed comforter and set against a background of matching wallpaper.
The pop-up restaurant is fresh off a sold-out run in Los Angeles. After a 12-week stint in New York, it will go to Miami, Chicago and San Francisco this spring. Visitors can linger in a re-creation of the show’s kitchen, with its duck-shaped ceramic cookie jar and red tea kettle. They can pony up to the Rusty Anchor bar, the girls’ favorite hangout, or sit in the fern-ringed lanai.
“It’s been emotional for some people,” said Andy Lederman, the founder and CEO of Bucket Listers, the company behind the pop-up. “It’s a way to experience their favorite show, so they feel like they’re a part of it.”Lederman said it was crucial that they nail the details, down to the tchotchkes lining the kitchen countertops, which were created by set designers. Groups of superfans have come dressed as the cast.
