    "I’d Like to Exchange an Egg . . . "

    ‘ At the risk of this site becoming strictly a blog about 90210, I just had to do a post about another location from the iconic 90s television show. I finally got Season 2 of the series on DVD and this weekend I spent many hours glued to my television set watching it. And I…

  • The Martini House from “It’s A Wonderful Life”

    The Martini House from “It’s A Wonderful Life”

    ‘ As difficult as it may be to believe, even though I absolutely love Christmas and even though I am a huge film buff, up until this past weekend I had never in my life watched the 1946 holiday classic It’s A Wonderful Life. I know, I know, for a person like me, not having…

    Lila’s Apartment Building on Dexter

    ‘ A few months ago, my fiancé and I started watching the Showtime television series Dexter and I have to say that it didn’t take very long for the two of us to become completely and totally obsessed with it.  So, as I’m sure you can probably imagine, I’ve also become pretty obsessed lately with…

  • I’ve Got the Hippy Hippy Shake!

    I’ve Got the Hippy Hippy Shake!

    ‘ I have been a fan of ever since my early teens and during that time was, of course, one of my very favorite movies. So I was floored when I found the address of the bar Tom Cruise first worked at in the movie in a book I picked up just before my recent…

  • Bowfinger International Pictures from “Bowfinger”

    Bowfinger International Pictures from “Bowfinger”

    ‘ I am a sucker for any movie about Los Angeles.  Coincidentally (or perhaps no so coincidentally), Steve Martin has written and starred in two of my favorites – L.A. Story and Bowfinger.  Two completely different takes on life in LaLaLand, but both equally valid and poignant.  Because I originally moved to Southern California to…

  • The Street Where “The Hills” Finale Was Filmed

    The Street Where “The Hills” Finale Was Filmed

    ‘ One location that I have been on the lookout for for a couple of months now is the street where Kristin Cavallari said good-bye to on-again/off-again boyfriend Brody Jenner in the final scene of the series finale of fave show The Hills, which aired on July 13th of this year.  For whatever reason, though,…

  • Izzy’s Deli from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”

    Izzy’s Deli from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”

    ‘ Because our flight home from Switzerland landed smack dab in the middle of rush hour on a Friday evening, the Grim Cheaper and I decided to book a hotel and spend the night near the airport rather than make what probably would have been a four-plus hour drive to Palm Springs. It turned out…

  • L’Orangerie – aka Chez Quis Restaurant from "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off"

    L’Orangerie – aka Chez Quis Restaurant from "Ferris Bueller’s Day Off"

    ‘ Back in 2010, this stalker became just a wee-bit obsessed with tracking down the restaurant interior which was used as the fictional Chez Quis French eatery in the iconic 1986 movie Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.  I knew from listening to director John Hughes’ DVD commentary that the restaurant was somewhere in the Los Angeles…

  • Via Quadronno

    Via Quadronno

    ‘ One of my favorite places in all of Manhattan is a teeny, tiny Upper East Side cafe named Via Quadronno. I stumbled upon the cafe three years ago, but had yet to blog about it because up until my recent New York vacation I had no idea what a major celebrity stomping ground it…

  • Jim and Pam’s Wedding Church from “The Office”

    Jim and Pam’s Wedding Church from “The Office”

    ‘ Another wedding-themed location that I stalked recently was the San Fernando Valley-area church where Jim Halpert (aka John Krasinski) married Pam Beesly (aka Jenna Fischer) in the Season Six episode of my new favorite show The Office titled “Niagara”.  I found out about this location quite a while ago, thanks to both fellow stalker…
