  • New York’s Paley Park

    New York’s Paley Park

    ‘ New York has no shortage of “secret” places.  I blogged about one – Grand Central’s Whispering Gallery – on Friday.  Another that the Grim Cheaper and I are fond of is Paley Park, located in NYC’s Midtown East neighborhood.  We happened by the site while wandering along 53rd Street during our very first visit…

  • Photos

    ‘ A few of you have been asking why the photos on my site no longer open up to a larger size. And the answer is . . . I have no idea. 🙁 I think it has something to do with WordPress, but at the moment neither my boyfriend nor I can figure out…

  • The McCullough Residence from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    The McCullough Residence from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    ‘ I knew I would love Little Fires Everywhere long before it premiered.  One look at the trailer had me drooling!  A confounding mystery at its center, Reese Witherspoon at the helm, a setting that is almost a character, and two of my favorite cuties, Joshua Jackson and Geoff Stults, in lead roles.  What’s not…

  • The Rub from “The Client List”

    The Rub from “The Client List”

    ‘ Another The Client List location that fellow stalker Owen (aka Jennifer Love Hewitt’s biggest fan), from the When Write Is Wrong blog, tracked down recently was The Rub – the supposed Sugar Land, Texas-area massage parlor where JLove’s character, Riley Parks, works on the series.  Owen had actually been looking for the locale for…

  • Vibiana

    Vibiana

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while spending the weekend at the Hilton Checkers Hotel, I stumbled upon a filming location I had been meaning to stalk for quite some time – a former cathedral named Vibiana located in Downtown Los Angeles.   While walking back to the hotel after grabbing a Starbucks :), I saw what looked like a wedding being set up…

  • The Bistro Garden

    The Bistro Garden

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, while searching online for different filming locations from The Office, I came across some information about an area restaurant which not only appeared in The Office, but in countless other productions over the years, as well – the Bistro Garden in Studio City.  So, I, of course, dragged the…

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – About “Back to the Future Part II”

    ‘ Be sure to check out my latest Los Angeles magazine post here – about Marty’s 2015 house from Back to the Future Part II.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • Carmine’s II Restaurant from “Modern Family”

    Carmine’s II Restaurant from “Modern Family”

    ‘ This past Saturday night, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk a historic restaurant named Carmine’s II, which was featured prominently in the recently-aired Season 2 episode of Modern Family titled “Boys’ Night”.  Carmine’s has been a virtual West-L.A.-institution for almost four decades now, having originally been founded in 1972 by New York…

  • Soup Burg from “Sex and the City”

    Soup Burg from “Sex and the City”

    ‘ I am the first to admit that I get fixated on the most random things.  A few years back, I became obsessed with identifying the diner featured at the very end of the Season 1 episode of Sex and the City titled “Models and Mortals.”  Though the eatery only appeared briefly, I was consumed…

  • Broadlind Hotel from “Over Her Dead Body”

    Broadlind Hotel from “Over Her Dead Body”

    ‘ Over Her Dead Body is hardly a horror flick.  In fact, the only thing scary about it is the reviews, with one critic going so far as to opine, “A deceased bride, a depressed groom and a caterer who doubles as a psychic.  Yes, it’s an unlikely love triangle, and it’s even more unlikely…
