“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” will take over Rockefeller Plaza in March to celebrate the NBC show’s 25th anniversary.
The plaza will honor the series' main character by becoming “Olivia Benson Plaza” for two days.
It will feature show-themed trivia contests, giveaways, photo ops and free coffee from La Colombe.
Fans will also be able to purchase friendship bracelets and a limited-edition 25th-anniversary T-shirt. The free event will be open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.
“Law and Order: SVU” is produced by Dick Wolf and stars Mariska Hargitay as Olivia Benson and Ice-T as Odafin Tutuola. It is the longest-running prime-time drama in the United States.
The show follows a team of elite New York City detectives who investigate crimes related to sexual assault and domestic violence.
The “Olivia Benson Plaza” experience happens on Thursday, March 14 and Friday, March 15 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days.
