  • Tom’s Restaurant from “Seinfeld”

    Tom’s Restaurant from “Seinfeld”

    ‘ Considering it is one of New York’s best-known film locations, you’d think I would have stalked Tom’s Restaurant, aka Monk’s Café from Seinfeld, ages ago.  That was not the case, though.  While the Morningside Heights eatery had been on my To-Stalk List ever since my first visit to Manhattan back in 2005, due to…

  • Alex Theatre from “You”

    Alex Theatre from “You”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I spent the days after Christmas in full vacation mode – sleeping in late, staying in our pajamas until all hours, and binging countless movies and TV shows, including the second season of Netflix’s You, which, I have to say, I enjoyed even more than the first.  Well, up until…

  • The First Beverly Hills House

    The First Beverly Hills House

    ‘ As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, fellow stalker E.J., from The Movieland Directory website, recently published an e-book about Old Hollywood titled Unscripted: Hollywood Back-Stories, Volume 1 (which you can purchase on Nook here and on Kindle here).  I read the entire tome – which was fascinating, by the way – in…

  • The Millennium Biltmore Hotel’s South Galleria from “The West Wing”

    The Millennium Biltmore Hotel’s South Galleria from “The West Wing”

    ‘ The Millennium Biltmore Los Angeles is a rare bird when it comes to filming locations in that virtually every square inch of it has appeared onscreen – and I’m talking in multiple major productions!  This factoid fascinates me and I thought it would be fun to cover in an in-depth article, so a few…

  • The Family House

    The Family House

    ‘ My good friend and fellow stalker Kerry is a huge fan of the 1976 television show and I just found out that while she has stalked the home used in the series several times, she doesn’”‘”‘t have any photographs of it. So I just had to go out and stalk the house for her…

  • The All American Burger from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    The All American Burger from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ I was devastated to learn back in early 2010, thanks to fellow stalker Amanda, that The All American Burger on Sunset Boulevard, which masqueraded as Clown Dog restaurant in 1991’s Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, was being turned into a Chipotle Mexican Grill.  I never expected that the historic eatery was going to…

  • The Beverly Hills Courthouse – Where Lindsay Lohan Was Sentenced

    The Beverly Hills Courthouse – Where Lindsay Lohan Was Sentenced

    ‘ Last Thursday morning, my fiancé and I ventured out to the Beverly Hills Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s Office to obtain our marriage license.  Because the license application listed the address of the office as “9355 Burton Way, First Floor, Beverly Hills”, I assumed we would be going to some sort of government building.  So, imagine my…

  • The Central Park Boathouse – Where Carrie and Big Went Swimming

    The Central Park Boathouse – Where Carrie and Big Went Swimming

    ‘ One of my very favorite episodes of (oh, who am I kidding – every episode is my favorite episode!) was the Season Three Finale when Carrie decides, after much deliberation and a big fight with Miranda, to meet Mr. Big for lunch. Just before the lunch, Carrie promises Miranda that no matter what happens…

  • Art’s Delicatessen & Restaurant from “Beverly Hills, 90210: Exposed!”

    Art’s Delicatessen & Restaurant from “Beverly Hills, 90210: Exposed!”

    ‘ They say you should always listen to your mother.  It’s good advice.  Case in point – about a decade ago, while stalking in Studio City, my mom, my dad, the Grim Cheaper and I passed by Art’s Delicatessen & Restaurant on Ventura Boulevard and decided to pop in for a bite.  During our meal,…

  • Jen’s House from “Dead to Me”

    Jen’s House from “Dead to Me”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I admittedly become obsessed with a lot of shows.  But it is a rare occasion (at least as of late) to find ourselves consumed by a series filmed entirely in L.A. (Bosch and Brooklyn Nine-Nine notwithstanding).  Darn runaway production!  So I was ecstatic to discover the thrilling, hilarious AND locally…
