  • Tavern on the Green from “Ghostbusters”

    I adhere to a “more is more” philosophy.  There’s nothing wrong with a little extra!  So I, of course, was a huge fan of the landmark Central Park restaurant Tavern on the Green during the time that it was run by the LeRoy family.  Though many referred to the place as tacky, garish and over-the-top,…

  • The Three Clubs from “Swingers”

    Besides a great coffee shop, there’s pretty much nothing I love more than an unpretentious bar/restaurant that boasts a retro vibe (as evidenced here, here, here, here, here, and here).  Add in a filming location element and I am completely smitten!  One that had been on my To-Stalk List for what seemed like eons was…

  • Oliver’s San Francisco House from “A Lot Like Love”

    I have made no secret over the years of my obsession with the 2005 romcom A Lot Like Love.  And I thought I was quite well-versed in its locations.  So I was shocked when fellow stalker Tovangar2 (you may remember him from this post) published a comment on my site in November 2015 alerting me…

  • Village Cigars from “Just My Luck”

    When planning a trip, my M.O. is to pore over as many area travel guides as possible and highlight spots I think the Grim Cheaper and I might be interested in seeing.  I then pass the books along to him and he reads through all the passages I have marked, giving them a yay or…

  • The Los Angeles Theatre Alley from “Coyote Ugly”

    You won’t typically find me frequenting back alleys in downtown Los Angeles.  But there is one that I just can’t get enough of.  My good friend Mike, from MovieShotsLA, pointed it out to me many years ago during a daylong DTLA stalking venture.  While driving through the Theatre District, he pulled over near what looked…

  • The “Lady Bird” House

    I know I am in the minority when I say I did not like Lady Bird.  Besides confusion over the name (up until I actually popped in the DVD and started watching, I thought the movie was a biopic about Lady Bird Johnson) and a storyline that seemed lacking, I found the main character, Christine…

  • 30th Street Station from “Trading Places”

    If you’re a filming location buff, you really shouldn’t travel to Philadelphia without first seeing Trading Places, the 1983 Dan Aykroyd/Eddie Murphy comedy set in the City of Brotherly Love.  And filming location buff or not, you really shouldn’t leave Philly without a visit to 30th Street Station, the city’s main railroad depot which had…

  • The “What Women Want” Coffee Shop

    “If I ever go looking for my heart’s desire again, I won’t look any further than my own backyard.”  So says Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz.  I should have heeded her advice because for years I have been searching for the coffee shop from the 2000 comedy What Women Want and as it turns…

  • Hop Louie from “I Love You, Man”

    Los Angeles suffered numerous iconic restaurant closures in 2017 – Auntie Em’s Kitchen in Eagle Rock, Happy Trails Catering in Pasadena (I was particularly heartbroken over that one), and the Formosa Cafe in West Hollywood (though it is set to re-open this summer), just to name a few.  2017 also saw the final shuttering of…

  • Hilton Pasadena from “The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training”

    I always love it when a filming location sneaks up on me.  This past weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I headed to Pasadena to attend the closing party for my favorite store, Lula Mae.  (Yes, you read that right – Lula Mae, my happy place, is, sadly, shuttering later this month.  While I am devastated…
