A Rue McClanahan Cafe Is Opening In New York

It looks like Golden Girls fans will soon have a new pilgrimage spot where they can gather to eat cheesecake and look at memorabilia, because a Rue McClanahan-themed cafe is opening this summer in Washington Heights.

According to the Official Rue McClanahan Memorial Page on Facebook, the cafe is under construction at a building currently marked "Sofia Bros." in Washington Heights, near the George Washington Bridge, and it's expected to be open later this summer.

"Now there will be a place in NYC where all Rue's fans can visit, see lots of her memorabilia, and sit around a table with some friends eating cheesecake and gabbing," the Estate of Rue announced.

The restaurant will have costumes, photographs, magazine covers, and other memorabilia from Rue McClanahan and the Golden Girls. The menu is not yet set, but the site said it had potential recipes from McClanahan, and others from her friends and coworkers. Cheesecake will of course be involved.
