  • Anavrin from “You”

    Anavrin from “You”

    ‘ I loved Season 1 of You, but Season 2 was even more gripping, engrossing and enjoyable!  I think a large part of that had to do with Anavrin (pronounced “uh-nah-vrin”), the impossibly idyllic grocery store where Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) landed a job in episode 1, “A Fresh Start,” and worked throughout.  The charming…

  • The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage

    The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage

    ‘ The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage recently re-opened after what amounted to countless delays and an almost eight-year closure.  A few years prior to its shuttering, when it was known as The Lodge at Rancho Mirage, the resort hosted the nuptials of Bachelorette Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, and I had been itching to stalk it…

  • Nate ‘n Al’s Delicatessen

    Nate ‘n Al’s Delicatessen

    ‘ One location that I have been wanting to stalk for quite some time now is the historic Nate ‘n Al Delicatessen in Beverly Hills, but because I don’t get out to that area very often, the restaurant had remained an unchecked item on my extremely long “To-Stalk” list for over a year.  Until a…

  • Priscilla’s Coffee Tea & Gifts

    Priscilla’s Coffee Tea & Gifts

    ‘ Many years ago, I was enrolled in an acting school in Burbank that was located just down the street from a little coffee shop named Priscilla’”‘”‘s Coffee Tea & Gifts.  I logged quite a bit of time at the coffee house, as my classmates and I would often grab a coffee and hang out…

  • ARIA Resort & Casino “The Bachelor”

    ARIA Resort & Casino “The Bachelor”

    ‘ Each season, The Bachelor reality series whisks its stars and contestants to various exotic, high-end locales.  During Brad Womack’s second stint as The Bachelor, he and the ladies (including my girl Emily Maynard) headed to the ARIA Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.  Prior to last month, I had not been to Sin City…

  • Hilton Checkers Hotel from “The West Wing”

    Hilton Checkers Hotel from “The West Wing”

    ‘ One of the best parts about finally watching The West Wing for the first time is all of the L.A. locales I’ve been able to identify and stalk (you can read about a few of them here, here, and here).  One spot that I recognized on sight was Hilton Checkers Los Angeles, which masked…

  • The Painted Nail from “Nail Files”

    The Painted Nail from “Nail Files”

    ‘ Back in November, when my good friends, fellow stalkers Lavonna, Melissa, Beth, Kim, and Sandy, came out to Los Angeles from Ohio for a little stalking vacay, Lavonna booked them all a pampering session at The Painted Nail in Sherman Oaks – the salon that is featured regularly on the TV Guide Network’s reality…

  • Flash Forward!

    Flash Forward!

    ‘ This past weekend, while out doing some stalking, my boyfriend and I happened upon a rather large film shoot that shut down an entire block in Downtown Los Angeles.  So, of course, we just had to pull the car over to find out what was being filmed.  🙂  Turns out it was the pilot episode of a…

  • Le Chene French Cuisine from “Sharp Objects”

    Le Chene French Cuisine from “Sharp Objects”

    ‘ I am a very black and white person.  Opinions typically come to me immediately and tend to swing towards either loving or hating something.  I don’t deal much in grey.  For some reason, though, I cannot decide if I like Sharp Objects.  I thoroughly enjoyed the Gillian Flynn novel on which the new HBO…

  • Eveleigh Restaurant from “Gossip Girl”

    Eveleigh Restaurant from “Gossip Girl”

    ‘ Fellow stalker Geoff, from the 90210Locations website, emailed me a few weeks back to let me know that he had tracked down the open-air-patio-ed restaurant where Serena van der Woodsen (aka Blake Lively) and Charlie Rhodes (aka Kaylee DeFer) ate lunch in the Season 4 episode of Gossip Girl titled “Beauty and the Feast”. …
