The Oviatt Penthouse from “Hollywood”
There’s no denying that Henry Willson (Jim Parsons), the Hollywood character based upon the real-life post-war power agent to the stars, is despicable. But he’s also, hands down, one of the best parts of the show! Those one-liners, amirite? I couldn’t help but smile every time he came onscreen. The only thing better than his…

The Theatre at Ace Hotel from “Bosch”
The latest season of Bosch, which kept me thoroughly entertained during this quarantine, featured countless new-to-me restaurants that I am itching to stalk! I can only hope they are still in business when this craziness ends. Fortunately, I did spot one locale that I previously stalked but have yet to blog about – The Theatre…

The InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown from “The Morning Show”
Aside from flying, there is little I am afraid of. Spiders? Nope. Public speaking? Not even a lick! Heights? Not typically. But when the Grim Cheaper and I visited the new InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown inside Wilshire Grand Center, which stands at 1,100 feet, I almost had a panic attack! I am not sure why,…

The Fine Arts Building from “The Morning Show”
Considering I’ve been at this crazy hobby of mine for twenty years now, you’d think I’d have stalked every square inch of Los Angeles. While watching the second episode of The Morning Show, though, I was reminded of a site I had yet to set foot in – downtown’s Fine Arts Building. I’d heard of…

Hotel Barclay from “Little Fires Everywhere”
Not only do The Morning Show and Little Fires Everywhere share a leading lady, Reese Witherspoon, but the two new series also seem to be sharing locations! Both made use of The Wolves, an insanely beautiful downtown Los Angeles bar that I blogged about in December, as well as Hotel Barclay, a historic and oft-filmed…

Le Petit Paris from “Little Fires Everywhere”
Reese Witherspoon is deserving of a major ‘thank you’ from me! Per the actress’ recent productions, I have been introduced to two fabulous downtown Los Angeles restaurants! The first, The Wolves, popped up twice on her Apple TV+ series The Morning Show. And now, via Little Fires Everywhere, I’ve discovered Le Petit Paris, a striking…

Hilton Checkers Hotel from “The West Wing”
One of the best parts about finally watching The West Wing for the first time is all of the L.A. locales I’ve been able to identify and stalk (you can read about a few of them here, here, and here). One spot that I recognized on sight was Hilton Checkers Los Angeles, which masked as…

Mitch’s New York Condo from “The Morning Show”
It’s been a minute (literally) since I’ve blogged about a location from The Morning Show, but, don’t worry, I’ve still got a few more up my sleeve – namely the modern building that served as beleaguered television host Mitch Kessler’s (Steve Carell) New York pied-à-terre. I had a hunch that the property was most likely…

Anavrin from “You”
I loved Season 1 of You, but Season 2 was even more gripping, engrossing and enjoyable! I think a large part of that had to do with Anavrin (pronounced “uh-nah-vrin”), the impossibly idyllic grocery store where Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgley) landed a job in episode 1, “A Fresh Start,” and worked throughout. The charming market…

Blossom Restaurant from “The Morning Show”
I have had to venture out to downtown L.A. several times over the past few months due to some medical issues my dad is having (his main doctor is there). The silver lining during this stressful time (besides the fact that things seem to be progressing in the right direction for him now, knock on…
