  • 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…

  • The IHOP Restaurant from “Glee”

    The IHOP Restaurant from “Glee”

    ‘ As I have mentioned a few times in the past, I am a diabetic.   And in order to combat my currently out-of-whack blood sugars, I recently picked up Dr. Bernstein’s Diabetes Solution, a best-selling book which proposes a VERY low carbohydrate diet to maintain blood sugar control.  Which is a problem, because this stalker…

  • Ladurée from “Gossip Girl”

    Ladurée from “Gossip Girl”

    ‘ Ever since watching the Season 4 episode of Gossip Girl titled “Juliet Doesn’t Live Here Anymore”, in which Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) was shown in a bubble bath eating a box, ahem, boxes of Ladurée macarons, I have been just slightly obsessed with the Paris-based confectionery. Since the chain’s only U.S. outpost is located…

  • The Houses from the Movie “Big”

    The Houses from the Movie “Big”

    ‘ Right around the corner from The King of Queens house, which I blogged about on Friday, are the two main houses used in the 1988 Tom Hanks movie Big.  And when I say “right around the corner”, I literally mean RIGHT around the corner.  The King of Queens  house and the Big  houses are…

  • The TKTS Booth from “Glee”

    The TKTS Booth from “Glee”

    ‘ I’ve made no secret of the fact that I bailed on the television series Glee shortly after the second part of the first season began airing.  In my opinion, after starting out so strong, the show totally jumped the shark at that point.  But because I love the Big Apple, I did make sure…

  • David’s Bungalow from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    David’s Bungalow from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ This past Tuesday night, Geoff, from the 90210locations website, asked for my help in tracking down the blue and white bungalow where Carly Reynolds (aka Hilary Swank) – and in later years David Silver (aka Brian Austin Green), Dylan McKay (aka Luke Perry), and Noah Hunter (aka Vincent Young) – lived during Season 8…

  • Cindy’s Restaurant from “Surviving Christmas”

    Cindy’s Restaurant from “Surviving Christmas”

    ‘ I have made no secret of the fact that I majorly ration Christmas locations from year to year.  The sad truth is that few holiday flicks are lensed in the L.A. area (the city’s constant sunshine and lack of snow doesn’t exactly scream “Noel!”), which translates to a very minimal amount of holiday locales. …

  • Watching the Filming of “True Blood”

    Watching the Filming of “True Blood”

    ‘ Last Wednesday evening I got a text from the owner of POP Champagne & Dessert Bar – my very favorite restaurant and the spot where the Grim Cheaper and I held the rehearsal dinner for our wedding last August – alerting me to the fact that the hit HBO television series True Blood would…

  • The Ansonia from “Single White Female”

    The Ansonia from “Single White Female”

    ‘ There is no shortage of strikingly beautiful, ornately embellished buildings on New York’s Upper West Side.  I blogged about one of them, The Apthorp, and the circuitous route some friends and I took to stalk it on Friday.  That route included a stop at another gorgeous UWS structure, The Ansonia, easily one of the…

  • The Manhattan Beach Marriott Hotel from “90210”

    The Manhattan Beach Marriott Hotel from “90210”

    ‘ Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I stopped by a couple of weeks ago while doing some stalking in the South Bay was the Manhattan Beach Marriott, which stood in for the supposed-Beverly-Hills-area hotel where the West Beverly High Senior Prom was held in the Season 3 episode of fave show 90210 titled…
