Big news in time for Betty White's 95th: Manhattan's Rue La Rue Café is almost ready to open! The Golden Girls–themed eatery — which will feature soups, salads and plenty of show memorabilia — is the brainchild of the fortunately named Michael J. LaRue, a neighbourhood resident and pal of the late Rue McClanahan (a.k.a. Blanche Devereaux).

“We don’t have an opening date yet, but we are getting SOOOOO close!” reads a post on the café's official Facebook page. Things appear to be coming together nicely — the walls are already adorned with pictures of McClanahan (one for every decade of her life):
