Last Wednesday, October 5, marked the 16th anniversary of Gilmore Girls, the TV show focused on the relationship between a mother and a daughter that impacted a generation of viewers and that ended in 2007. For that reason, fans rejoiced with the news that Neftlix is reasing four new episodes on November 25th, which will be called Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
To honor the date, Netflix partnered with over 200 coffee shops around the US and a few in Canada to transform them into Luke’s Diner, the famous place the main characters would have their never-ending meals and tons of coffee everyday.
From 7am until noon on Wednesday, these coffee shops were giving free coffee and the paper cups were personalized with quotes from the TV show – all talking about coffee, of course (in my case, it says “Nothing says coffee like six in the morning”, from season 3). The sleeve was also personalized with Luke’s Diner logo. Other features included the Luke’s Diner sign outside those coffee shops, as well as the infamous “No Cell Phones” sign and the manager of the place wearing a cap and a flannel shirt just like Luke would.
Some fans in L.A. were lucky enough to have Luke himself (Scott Patterson) serving them coffee!
It was an extremely fun experience and, as a fan of the show, all I can say is: November 25th can’t come soon enough!
