The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant from “I Love You, Man”
‘ In Pretty Woman, Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) states that very few people surprise him. I could say the same about filming locations. One that did recently surprise me, though, was The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant in Reseda. For years I had been under the impression that the engagement party scene from the 2009 comedy…

The “You’ve Got Mail” Breakup Restaurant
‘ Locations from the movie You’ve Got Mail have been well-documented online on countless sites. I chronicled quite a few of them on mine – in a December 2007 post, as well as in follow-up posts that you can read here and here. One spot that hasn’t been mentioned anywhere and one that I was…

Killer Café from “Enough”
‘ One location that I had been dying to stalk for close to a decade was Edie’s Diner, the 50s-style restaurant in Marina Del Rey that stood in for Phil’s Famous Red Car Diner where Slim Hiller (Jennifer Lopez) worked – and met her reprobate husband, Mitch Hiller (Billy Campbell) – in the 2002 thriller…

The Glen Capri Inn & Suites from “The Good Girl”
‘ A few weeks ago, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk the Glen Capri Inn & Suites – a historic and oft-filmed Glendale-area motel that has appeared in over twenty movie and television productions in the past six years alone. I was most interested in stalking the property due to its appearance in…

Shakers Family Restaurant from “Old School”

While I had long known that Montrose Bakery & Café (which, sadly, Yelp is…

‘ It has been said that you shouldn’t look down when you walk. There are two places in Manhattan where you ought to keep your eyes on the pavement, though. I blogged about one, Hess Triangle in front of Village Cigars, on Wednesday. The other, a clock imbedded in concrete outside of what was once…

The Former BaBalu Lounge – Where Michael Buble Got His Start
‘ Another Michael Buble location that I found thanks to the book Michael Buble: The Biography, by Juliet Peel was BaBalu Lounge, the Downtown Vancouver nightclub where the cutie crooner performed regularly for two years before becoming famous. And, let me tell you, once I heard about it, I became pretty hell-bent on the idea…

Holly’s Nashua House from “The Office”
‘ Another location from The Office that I stalked recently was the supposed Nashua, New Hampshire-area house that Holly Flax moved into in the Season 5 episode titled “Employee Transfer”. I found this location, yet again, thanks to fellow stalker Owen who went on a mission a while back to try to track down as…

The “Object of My Affection” House
‘ The Object of My Affection is my least favorite of all the Jennifer Aniston movies. I remember watching it in college and being thoroughly disappointed. I mean, come on, it has to be one of the crappiest movies ever made. But if we’”‘”‘re being honest here, has she ever made a good one? LOL…

The Probable “Beat It” Diner, Part II
‘ [UPDATE – The Monte Carlo Restaurant is NOT where “Beat It” was filmed. The iconic video was actually shot at the Special Café, located just a few blocks away. You can read all about it here. Even though this post contains erroneous information, I am leaving it up as it chronicles an important part…
