  • Arnold’s Turtle – The Inspiration for Central Perk on “Friends”

    Arnold’s Turtle – The Inspiration for Central Perk on “Friends”

    It appears that my posts have been heavy on filming location inspiration as of late.  On Friday, I blogged about the Annie orphanage and the two buildings that it was modeled after.  And here I am today with another spot that served as inspiration – this one Arnold’s Turtle Vegetarian Café, the eatery that Central…

  • The “Sex and the City” McDonalds

    The “Sex and the City” McDonalds

    Today’s location is a bit of a fail and a lucky twist all in one.  My mom always says to trust in the universe – and she’s right.  Things happen for a reason.  This locale – easily one of my most-wanted ever – is proof of that.  I am a pretty simple girl when it…

  • Stuyvesant Square Park from “Sex and the City”

    Stuyvesant Square Park from “Sex and the City”

    At the risk of this blog becoming solely Sex and the City-based, here I am yet again with yet another locale from the hit HBO series.  For those of you non-SATC fans out there, don’t worry, I will be chronicling NYC sites from other productions soon.  I will also be interspersing New York spots with…

  • Famous Original Ray’s Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    Famous Original Ray’s Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    The Grim Cheaper and I used to visit New York at least once a year.  Prior to this recent trip, though, we had not been to Manhattan since October 2009!  Being separated from my favorite city for almost seven years was quite a hard pill to swallow.  During that time, I accumulated a ridiculously large…

  • Two Boots To Go West Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    Two Boots To Go West Pizza from “Sex and the City”

    There’s nothing quite like a slice of New York pizza!  Just watching characters eat a piece on TV or in a movie is enough to make me drool.  So I, of course, had long been dying to stalk the Big Apple pizzeria that appeared in the Season 6 episode of Sex and the City titled…

  • Old Town Bar from “Sex and the City”

    Old Town Bar from “Sex and the City”

    My recent trip to New York was nothing short of epic and I somehow managed to stalk a good 100 locales while there.  I cannot wait to blog about all of them!  The spot I was most excited about visiting was one that had been perched at the top of my NYC To Stalk list…

  • The Den from “Sex and the City”

    The Den from “Sex and the City”

    It goes without saying that I have a tendency to obsess on things (that fact should be apparent to even my site’s most casual visitors).  Recently, I found myself obsessing over two locations featured in the L.A.-based Season 3 episode of Sex and the City titled “Sex and Another City.”  The first locale I was…

  • Musso and Frank Grill from “Sex and the City”

    Musso and Frank Grill from “Sex and the City”

    I deserve a facepalm for today’s location!  For ages I had been trying to track down the Los Angeles steakhouse where Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) dined with “Letterman Lew” (Sam Seder) in the Season 3 episode of Sex and the City titled “Sex and Another City.”  Because the episode had been filmed over 15 years…

  • 24/7 Restaurant

    24/7 Restaurant

    All stalkers have those locations – the ones that, despite years of searching, remain on our unfound list.  Miraculously (and thanks to an insane amount of good fortune), I managed to track down one of mine recently, after over a decade of hunting for it! During the early 2000s, I had major girl crushes on…

    New “L.A.” Mag Post – Happy Birthday, Hef!

    Be sure to check out today’s Los Angeles magazine post – about the Playboy Mansion’s many appearances onscreen and the 89th birthday of its famous owner.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours.
