After making a big splash in Beverly Hills this summer, the Golden Girls Kitchen is about to open their New York City location, located on Fulton Street at the South Street Seaport. This pop-up phenomenon brings to life the girls’ favorite Miami hangouts, as well as other recognizable moments from the show. And it’s all courtesy of nostalgia-inspired restaurateur Derek Berry.

“Bringing Golden Girls to life has always been a dream of mine,” Berry told Food and Wine. “Our team is confident that both die-hard fans of the show and first timers alike will leave with a deeper appreciation for the show's lasting legacy.”

Berry is launching the kitchen through the events platform Bucket Listers where he serves as director of experiences. It is a fully functioning restaurant and bar with a fast-casual concept, focusing on desserts. It is also officially licensed by the show, ensuring that the experience will be authentic. 

Tickets for a 90-minute reservation slot are available for $40 and include your choice of a Golden main entrée plus a slice of cheesecake. Popular choices include Sophia’s Lasagna Al Forno, the Genurkenflurgen Cake, and The Rose Marie Combo (soup & salad, and more’s the pity for poor Rose). Additional sides, beverages, desserts, and exclusive Golden Girls Kitchen merchandise will be available on location. Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan dishes are available. Be warned, Stanley Zbornak cheapskates: a 20% gratuity will be added to your table reservation. All sales final; no refunds, cancellations, or rescheduling.

There will definitely be a line full of men. “Many, many, many men.” 

“Cozy up to the kitchen table, grab some sun on the lanai, or snap a selfie in front of everyone's favorite palm print,” writes Bucket Listers. “Take a spin through Shady Pines on your way to the popup store featuring an exclusive range of brand-new Golden Girls merchandise, not available anywhere else.”

Bucket Listers offers guest the opportunity to sidle up to the Rusty Anchor Bar and select from an assortment of specialty cocktails and mocktails centered around the beloved series. Don’t forget to take advantage of shareable photo-ops too: snap a photo in Blanche’s boudoir, complete with shag carpet and a palm print bedspread, or pretend to chat with the ladies through the yellow kitchen phone.

They have also promised special events, panels, and merchandise drops throughout the course of the pop-up run. On December 13 and 20 in New York City, that includes a special Golden Girls Cocktails, Cheesecake, and Trivia! Your $65 ticket includes a live mixology class and cocktail, a piece of cheesecake, and a copy of The Golden Girls Cookbook: Cheesecakes and Cocktails! Prizes will be given for the winner of the trivia contest. The Seaport location has promised to ring the New Year in with Drag Brunches every Sunday in January through February, three seatings per day.

Better yet, the waitlists are now open for the Golden Girls Kitchen’s next location: Miami in the winter, followed by San Francisco, then off to Chicago in the spring. Reserve your tickets now for this mobile kitchen experience. Or maybe thank all your friends for being your friends with a private event: the Golden Girls Kitchen is available for large bookings and full venue buyouts. 

Reserve your spot now, before they fill up. Because like Blanche Devereaux’s past, there will definitely be a line full of men. “Many, many, many men.”
