Fans of the iconic sitcom “The Golden Girls” can now immerse themselves in the show’s famous scenes at a new pop-up television exhibition at Pullman Yards.
Why it matters: The show, which aired from 1985 to 1992, has a loyal fanbase, ranging from those who remember when the show was on TV to people who discovered the show through reruns and streaming services.
The latest: The Golden Girls Kitchen requires timed-entry tickets and offers replicas of the kitchen, Blanche’s bedroom, the living room and patio.
Visitors can also dine at a fast-casual restaurant that serves food, drinks and desserts that play off the show.
What they’re saying: Nicole Gerlach, a reporter for Bucket Listers, which runs the exhibition, told Axios its stop in Atlanta is the seventh U.S. city. city.
People who’ve seen the display in other cities on social media have been clamoring for Bucket Listers to bring it here.
“It has been the most overwhelming fan-driven requested location, so we’re super excited to bring it to Atlanta,” said Keely O’Neal, senior project manager at Bucket Listers.
How it works: Each reservation is for 90 minutes, which gives visitors time to eat and tour the different spaces.
Some menu items include Sophia’s Cavatappi Bolognese, Bacon Lettuce Potato Sandwich, cheese balls, Blanche’s Georgia Style Cookie, the Lanai “Miami Style” Cuban Sandwich and several cheesecake options.
Cocktail and mocktail choices are also on the menu.
There are also pop-up scenes, including The Rusty Anchor, Blanche’s favorite bar.
Of course, visitors are free to take photos and selfies.
The bottom line: “We really want it to feel like … you get to actually be a part of the show from the food that they eat to what you’re seeing out the windows,” Gerlach told Axios.
Go: The exhibition will be at Pullman Yards through May 10
