  • Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    ‘ I’m not sure what it is about old school diners, but I sure have an affinity for them.  My inclination maybe stems from memories of childhood road trips or weekend mornings spent at greasy spoons with my parents during my early years or my nostalgic nature in general.  Whatever the cause, if I see…

  • Villa Sorriso – The Restaurant Where Michael Jackson’s “Celebration of Life” Reception Was Held

    Villa Sorriso – The Restaurant Where Michael Jackson’s “Celebration of Life” Reception Was Held

    ‘ One location that I stalked quite a while back, but, for whatever reason, have yet to blog about is Villa Sorriso Ristorante – the Italian eatery where the Jackson family hosted the September 3, 2009 “Celebration of Life” reception for pop star Michael Jackson following his burial at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale. …

  • Regency Inn & Suites from “Mad Men”

    Regency Inn & Suites from “Mad Men”

    ‘ On my many trips back and forth from Palm Springs to L.A., I often pass by a red-roofed, A-frame Regency Inn & Suites situated alongside the Interstate 10 freeway.  I knew from doing research for my post about Rod’s Grill in Arcadia that the Regency Inn & Suites in Baldwin Park was used as…

  • Carmine’s II Restaurant from “Modern Family”

    Carmine’s II Restaurant from “Modern Family”

    ‘ This past Saturday night, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk a historic restaurant named Carmine’s II, which was featured prominently in the recently-aired Season 2 episode of Modern Family titled “Boys’ Night”.  Carmine’s has been a virtual West-L.A.-institution for almost four decades now, having originally been founded in 1972 by New York…

  • The “Teen Wolf” Party House

    The “Teen Wolf” Party House

    ‘ As I mentioned in the post I wrote back in January about the residence where Pamela Wells (aka Lorie Griffin) lived in Teen Wolf, fellow stalkers Chas, from the ItsFilmedThere website, and Owen recently embarked upon a mission to track down all of the locations used in the 1985 comedy.  One of the locales…

  • Joe’s Apartment from the Second Season of “You”

    Joe’s Apartment from the Second Season of “You”

    ‘ The second season of You couldn’t have been more quintessentially L.A.!  Nowhere is that more evident than in the apartment building that served as Joe Goldberg’s (Penn Badgley) new West Coast home.  As a reader commented about the place to me last week on Facebook, “It seems like I’ve passed it 284739484 times in…

  • 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…

  • The Almost Famous House

    The Almost Famous House

    ‘ Thanks to fellow stalker Chas, way back in the beginning of July, I was able to stalk the main house used in the 2000 award winning movie Almost Famous.   Somehow, though, in all this time, I’”‘”‘ve yet to blog about it.  What can I say – so many places to stalk, so little time to write…

  • Robert Pastorelli’s Former House

    Robert Pastorelli’s Former House

    ‘ Growing up, I absolutely loved Murphy Brown. This was largely due to the antics of zany housepainter/nanny Eldin Bernecky, played by actor Robert Pastorelli.  I adored Eldin so much in fact that when Pastorelli left the show in 1994, I stopped watching.  I was heartbroken to learn of his death a decade later and…

  • The Astor Place Starbucks

    The Astor Place Starbucks

    ‘ Two of my favorite things in the world (besides Jennifer Aniston, of course) are Starbucks coffee and Sex and the City. So it was only natural that I stalk the Starbucks featured in Sex and the City: The Movie while I was in New York a few weeks ago. 🙂 The Starbucks used in…
