While it has been decades since the 'Golden Girls' graced television screens across America, the humorous sitcom will soon enjoy a new lease on life in the form of a nostalgia-inducing restaurant called Rue La Rue Cafe.
Rue La Rue Cafe is a Golden Girls-themed cafe located in Manhattan’s Washington Heights neighborhood. While the restaurant has yet to officially open, the owners have been teasing fans with images of golden mica chip flooring, Blanche-embossed coffee cups and multiple different kinds of cheesecake. In addition of the obligatory desserts, the cafe will also serve soups, salads, wraps and wine -- each of which boasts a humorous Golden Girls-inspired name.
