The Women’s Exchange from “Sleepless in Seattle”
‘ Last year, I had incredible luck getting access to filming locations typically closed to the public. While visiting New York in April, I was granted tours of three non-accessible places that I literally would have given my eye teeth to see. Thankfully, none of my friendly tour guides collected on that offer. (And yes,…

Connor and Gigi’s Date Restaurant from “He’s Just Not That Into You”
‘ Not every location from He’s Just Not That Into You was a challenge to track down. [As I mentioned yesterday and the day before, both Janine (Jennifer Connelly) and Ben’s (Bradley Cooper) home and Conor’s (Kevin Connolly) row house listing proved to be real thorns in my side.] Case in point, the exterior of…

Hollywood Diner from “Sleepless in Seattle”

Frank and Claire’s Townhouse from “House of Cards”
‘ It is a rare occasion for me to lay eyes on a Hollywood-designed set and not immediately want to move in. But such was the case with the townhouse belonging to Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and his wife, Claire (Robin Wright), on the Netflix series House of Cards. While I love the handsome brick…

The George Peabody Library from “Sleepless in Seattle”
‘ The Grim Cheaper has never been much interested in filming locations, as I’ve mentioned many times before. He does love stalking them with me, though, as doing so usually involves seeing historic and unique spots. One site that absolutely bowled him over during our trip back east last September was the George Peabody Library…

Annie’s House from “Sleepless in Seattle”
‘ We all have those movies – the ones that affected us so much upon first viewing, they left a lasting imprint on our hearts. Sleepless in Seattle is one such movie for me. As I mentioned in this 2010 post about the houseboat from the 1993 romcom, I still remember exactly where I was…

Janine and Ben’s House(s) from “He’s Just Not That Into You”
‘ You know those crime novels where a main character is trying to solve a case and there is some niggling clue that tugs at them throughout the story – an important piece of evidence that would solve the whole mystery, but which remains elusive until the final pages? That was how I felt while…
