Poker Face, the Peacock crime comedy-drama starring Natasha Lyonne as casino worker Charlie Cale, is returning for season two on May 8—and New York City is ready to celebrate with an activation that feels just right.
Next weekend—on Friday, May 9 and Saturday, May 10—the only operational gas station below 14th Street in Manhattan will transform into a roadside restaurant pop-up serving free burgers to the masses. The Mobil station at 51-63 Eighth Avenue, between West 13th Street and Horatio Street, will team up with Smacking Burger and be rebranded as Charlie Cale's Back on Her BLSHT Rest Stop.
Two types of burgers will be available: a classic meat option and a vegetarian alternative. While the food is free, guests will be limited to one patty per person.
In case you're wondering, Lyonne’s character is a frequent visitor of roadside rest stops in the series—hence the theme. Beyond the burgers, visitors can snap pics with a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda (the car Charlie drives on the show), grab retro postcards featuring guest stars from season two and enjoy other fun giveaways.
As far as gimmicky activations go, this one honestly sounds pretty awesome. The pop-up will be open from 2–8pm on Friday, May 9, and from noon–8pm on Saturday, May 10—so mark your calendars and make sure not to order lunch on those days.
