Nick’s Cafe from “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”
‘ It is not everyday that a one-minute clip gets me hooked on an entire television series, but that is exactly what happened with Brooklyn Nine-Nine. A few months back, my friend Kate texted me a hilarious highlight from a Season 5 episode in which Detective Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) leads a group of criminals…

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…

Vivian’s Millennium Café
‘ I have to say that while I have always been a pretty big fan of Leah Remini (hello, Saved by the Bell! Who’s the Boss?! Living Dolls!), I don’t particularly love her reality show, Leah Remini: It’s All Relative. I was fascinated to learn through watching it, though, that Leah’s husband, mother, and stepfather…

East Miami Police Department from “Rosewood”
‘ I was saddened to learn of the cancellation of Rosewood last week. Yes, I said in recent posts (here and here) that the show had jumped the shark, but I was holding out hope that it would return strong for a third season. Unfortunately, as Fox announced last Tuesday, that is not to be. …

The “13 Going On 30” Houses
‘ If someone asked me what movie most closely resembles my life, I would have to say 13 Going On 30. I am definitely a child of the 80s, I still dress like a 13 year old most of the time, and I’”‘”‘ve been known to do the Thriller Dance at a few parties, so it’”‘”‘s only natural…

My Latest Interview with US Modernist Radio
‘ I apologize for being MIA the past couple of days. Both of my parents had surgery last week (my mom’s planned, my dad’s completely unplanned), so things have been hectic to say the least. My dad was finally released from the hospital yesterday and I am hoping to have a new post up tomorrow,…

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day
‘ When initially writing out “Martin Luther King Jr.” in the above title, I made a mistake, spelling his last name “Kind” instead of “King.” Talk about an apropos typo! Today, as we celebrate the birth of the great leader, whose example of compassion and love has proved everlasting, let’s remember to be kind to…

Beau Burroughs’ Mansion from “Rumor Has It”
‘ Back in April, when fellow stalker Geoff, of the 90210Locations website, let me know that he had found the Fundraiser House from L.A. Story (which I blogged about here) at 3456 Via Campesina in Rancho Palos Verdes, I remembered that a few years prior I had tracked down a different Palos Verdes locale –…

McSorley’s Old Ale House from “Rounders”
‘ It has been said that 60% of restaurants close within a year of opening and that 80% don’t make it past year five. Many in New York, though, have real staying power. Take McSorley’s Old Ale House, for example. The East Village watering hole/eatery has been around for more than 16 decades! Yep, 16…
