Insomnia Cafe – The Inspiration for “Friends”
‘ Oh, to be able to visit a coffee shop, order a steaming latte and sit in a secluded corner sipping away! Hard to believe that is something unattainable right now. These certainly are strange days we are living in. When things do get back to normal, one spot I am itching to re-patronize is…

Fair Oaks Burger from “Little Fires Everywhere”
‘ I have never been a burger girl (I know, I know), but I’ve long been familiar with Altadena staple Fair Oaks Burger. The veteran eatery sits at the northern end of Fair Oaks Avenue and, though I never popped in for a bite, I passed by it countless times throughout the 15+ years I…

Casa Vega from “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”
‘ One of the things I most appreciate about Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is the lengths director Quentin Tarantino went to portray an authentic 1960s-era Los Angeles onscreen. To that end, he featured several local historic restaurants from the time that are, thankfully, still around today, including Musso and Frank Grill, El Coyote,…

Tilly’s House from “Flaked”
‘ I never thought I’d say I’m in love with a gate, but here we are. Back in March 2016, my Los Angeles magazine editor assigned me a piece chronicling the locations from the then-new Netflix series Flaked. I got to work researching right away and one spot immediately stood out among the rest –…

The Fine Arts Building from “The Morning Show”
‘ Considering I’ve been at this crazy hobby of mine for twenty years now, you’d think I’d have stalked every square inch of Los Angeles. While watching the second episode of The Morning Show, though, I was reminded of a site I had yet to set foot in – downtown’s Fine Arts Building. I’d heard…

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…

Hotel Barclay from “Little Fires Everywhere”
‘ Not only do The Morning Show and Little Fires Everywhere share a leading lady, Reese Witherspoon, but the two new series also seem to be sharing locations! Both made use of The Wolves, an insanely beautiful downtown Los Angeles bar that I blogged about in December, as well as Hotel Barclay, a historic and…

Le Petit Paris from “Little Fires Everywhere”
‘ Reese Witherspoon is deserving of a major ‘thank you’ from me! Per the actress’ recent productions, I have been introduced to two fabulous downtown Los Angeles restaurants! The first, The Wolves, popped up twice on her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show. And now, via Little Fires Everywhere, I’ve discovered Le Petit Paris, a…

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…

Mitch’s House from “The Morning Show”
‘ My dad is unfortunately back in the hospital and right now this blog is one of the main things keeping me sane. Being able to research, track down and write about filming locations, trivial as that may be, sparks major joy for me and has provided a much-needed distraction from all that is going…
