    The Hotel St. James

    Bow Bridge from “Glee”

    ‘ I have a thing for Central Park bridges.  One of my favorite places in all of New York City – in all of the world, actually – is Gapstow Bridge.  I’ve stalked it countless times, blogged about it, and honestly just cannot get enough of its bucolic beauty.  Though I have walked pretty much…

    The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “Kill Me”

    ‘ The fifth episode of Big Little Lies’ second season may have lacked pizzazz (especially since the much-anticipated ice-cream-throwing scene was cut!), but it sure boasted a lot of locations.  Read on to discover which spots the Monterey 5 frequented in “Kill Me.”  (Note – as was the case with my posts about the locales…
