A Second Golden Girls Kitchen Will Open In This Major City

So many TV networks and streaming platforms du jour are partial to series that revolve around upside-down worlds and dystopian futures. Indeed, the sci-fi hit "Stranger Things" clocked in at 286,790,000 hours of viewing time during its season four premiere week, per Netflix. But when small-town murders and superhuman satanic powers start to frazzle the nerves, the mood might strike to come back down to Earth. In these moments, sitcom reruns are always there, waiting to soothe your soul with their low-stakes plot lines and cheesecake-level sweetness. 

Speaking of cheesecake, NBC's "The Golden Girls" is a prime example of a defunct series that has risen from the grave these past few years. Far contrary to the scary and unpredictable news cycle that haunts our phone screens, "The Golden Girls" (which ran from 1985-1992) follows four retired gals about town as they navigate life, love, friendship, and roommatehood in Miami, Florida. This past June, fans in Los Angeles got to see the show come to life by way of an immersive pop-up kitchen in the likeness of the show's '80s-tastic set — including the ladies' humble Shady Pines abode at the fictional 6151 Richmond Street, per Bucket Listers. This November, the pop-up is hopping the coast.

If you're a New Yorker who couldn't make it to Beverly Hills for "The Golden Girls" pop-up experience in June, you're in luck. According to Food & Wine, the immersive kitchen is coming to Midtown Manhattan's Skorpios on 5 East 54th Street from November 16 through the end of March. 

In honor of Blanche, Dorothy, Sophia, and Rose's favorite comfort food, fans can expect plenty of cheesecake during each 90-minute dining window, per Food & Wine. There will also be dinner entrees with names like Sophia's Lasagna Al Forno, Blanche's Georgia Style Cookie, and the Rose Marie Combo (which is soup and salad). For a boozy or zero-proof tipple, guests can head over to the Rusty Anchor Bar for themed cocktails and mocktails, per Bucket Listers. There will even be a photo-op-ready rendering of Blanche's bedroom, shag carpet, and all. Tickets are available now at $40 per person.
