Bucket Listers announced on Wednesday, Oct. 7 that it’s bringing Stranger Thingsto New York City with a limited-time diner experience.
Stranger Things: The Diner, set to open this fall, will feature themed food and beverages, photo opportunities and exclusive merchandise.

A description for the diner teases, “Experience Hawkins in a whole new way as you step into unforgettable scenes from all five seasons of Stranger Things. Explore fan-favorite moments brought to life. But be warned, rifts can appear anywhere, and you never know when you might find yourself crossing into the Upside Down.”
The description continues, “Please note that once inside, normal environmental conditions may no longer apply. Unusual sounds, flickering lights, airborne spores, and unexplained phenomena have all been reported. Proceed with caution. The rift will not be open for long.”
