Fans of the iconic sitcom “The Golden Girls” can now immerse themselves in the television show’s famous scenes at a new pop-up 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 spokesperson for Bucket Listers, which runs the exhibition, told Axios its stop in Atlanta is the seventh U.S. 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,” Keely O’Neal, senior project manager at Bucket Listers, said.
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…
