The 'Golden Girls' Miami Tour You Secretly Want To Do

The timeless Golden Girls are enjoying a popularity surge beyond the normal hum of adoration. Youve probably started your GG binge on Hulu , which just began carrying all seven seasons, and at least one of your friends has posted the Rue La Rue Caf on your Facebook timeline with a tempting !!!

While youre on your Golden Girl kick, pay homage to Bea, Betty, Rue and Estelle with a trip to their show home, Miami. It has so much appeal .

Heres where you can tap into your Golden obsession:

Joes Stone Crab - In the pilot episode, when gay housekeeper Coco makes his first and final appearance, Blanche announces that she accepted Harrys marriage proposal at Joes. She had the stone crabs, and so should you. Harry may have turned out to be a jerk, but you shouldnt let that stop you from trying the key lime pie.

Miami Beach Boardwalk - At the start of season 3, Sophia bonds with her friend Alvin along the Miami Beach Boardwalk. Walk the 40-block path and take in classic Miami viewsbeautiful beach, blue ocean and swanky hotels and condos.

World Erotic Art Museum - I dont think Miles would have taken Rose to this museum on a date. They did visit the fictional thimble museum in season six, so you can tap into their offbeat taste in culture here. Its the largest collection of erotic art in the Americas, andhow perfect is thisit was founded by a grandmother.

The Murder Mystery Co. - In season seven, Blanche gets caught up in a real-life murder during a murder mystery weekend. A full two days might be a bit much. Lucky for you, this one lasts for a single intriguing evening.

Cabaret South Beach - In the same season, Dorothy steps into Blanches spotlight at the Rusty Anchor piano bar. No one can match Bea Arthur, but the waitstaff at the Cabaret South Beach inside the Shelborne South Beach serve, sing and entertain the eager crowds.

11th Street Diner - No Golden Girls getaway would be complete without a late-night cheesecake run. This South Beach spot can satisfy your craving, and then some. The only question is whether to indulge before or after your visit to Twist nightclub next door.

The Carlyle - After the series finale, three of the four best friends starred in a single-season spinoff called The Golden Palace. Rose, Blanche and Sophia invested in and ran the hotelthe current day Carlyle. Nothing against the ladies, but I dont think theyd make it at the Carlyle, a fabulous spot on Ocean Drive.

Bonus: The Sound of Music , May 9-14, 2017 - Die-hard Golden Girls and musical fans can drive about an hour north of Miami to catch The Sound of Music at the Kravis Center in West Palm Beach. Rose and Blanche did their best nun impressions for the show in season three.
