- On Wednesday night, I asked:
(This is for my contribution to @GOODFoodHQ's cavalcade of posts this week, which I am writing right this very moment. Haaalp!)- So, I got ~100 replies in about 20 minutes—apparently, everybody's got a favorite (or three). Here's a sampling. First, the canon:
@robinsloan Monk's Café (Seinfeld). Central Perk (Friends). Davy Byrne (real pub in Ulysses, still there). Arnold's (Happy Days).
@robinsloan The Banana Stand (Arrested Development), Moe's Tavern (Simpsons), and wherever the white people in Friends went.
@robinsloan Harry Potter is a trove: The Leaky Cauldron, The Three Broomsticks, Honeyduke's.
@robinsloan the peach pit, where brandon and brenda and steve and dillon would hang!
@robinsloan Rick's American Cafe (Casablanca). "Of all the gin joints in all the world..." Does the Wonka Chocolate Factory count?- Yes, that DEFINITELY counts. Next, some that are a little farther off the beaten track:
@robinsloan Cafe Lalo, from You've Got Mail. Katz's Deli, from When Harry Met Sally.
@robinsloan M & Bond go to a club called Blades in several Bond novels, mostly to eat.- Then, a couple of classics:
- @robinsloan The Boar's Head Tavern is where Falstaff and Prince Hal and Quickly and all of them hang out in Henry IV.
- And of course:
- Finally:
@robinsloan Well, there is the Cheesecake Factory from The Big Bang Theory. Though that is probably paid cross promotion.- :-)
