Fans of the Law & Order universe have a delicious reason to head to Rockefeller Center this weekend. NBC officially reopened the fan-favorite Dun Dun Diner in New York City with an exclusive “After Dark” party for cast and celebrity guests, kicking off a limited-run pop-up tied to the new seasons of Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU.
The invite-only preview turned the pop-up into a who’s who of the franchise. Mariska Hargitay, Tony Goldwyn, Ice-T, Aimé Donna Kelly, Peter Scanavino, Odelya Halevi, Corey Cott, Kevin Kane, Octavio Pisano, Natalee Linez, David Ajala and Lena Waithe were among the stars who turned out. Grammy-nominated artist Este Haim handled DJ duties for the night.

A pop-up for the fans
Starting Friday, Oct. 9 through Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026, ticketed fans can step inside the Dun Dun Diner at Bill’s Bar & Burger in Rockefeller Center. The experience celebrates the Law & Order franchise’s decades-long love affair with New York City—and it coincides with NBC’s 100th anniversary, marking a century of storytelling that has brought generations of viewers together.
Four beloved New York institutions signed on as this year’s Elite Squad partners, each creating a specialty menu item inspired by the show:
“Lox & Order” — an Ess-a-Bagel everything bagel stacked with plain cream cheese, nova, cucumber, fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon.
“The Benson” — Katz’s pastrami piled on seedless rye with coleslaw and Russian dressing.
“Proof Is In The Pudding” — Magnolia Bakery’s iconic banana pudding with a salted caramel twist, layered with vanilla wafers, fresh bananas and creamy pudding.
“Fin Loves Coco” — Serendipity3’s legendary Frrrozen Hot Chocolate made with a secret blend of 14 exotic cocoas, chocolate cold foam, whipped cream, chocolate shavings, cookie crumble and a pinch of Maldon sea salt.
