Would you eat in that restaurant where the actors of your favorite soap opera are enjoying themselves on the TV screen? This does not require a reservation with the production house, because although most things are shot in studios, behind the scenes or even in front of the green screen, there are locations that can be found on the map and that accept reservations like ordinary "mortals".
Would you like to order coffee in Central Perku, where they used to go Friends (Friends) or drank beer in a bar McLaren's, where Ted and the gang from the series pretty much beat her to it How I met your mother (How I Met Your Mother)? These and many other locations are not mirages, so no matter how hard you squint or pinch yourself, they will still be there. And like some movie scenes, have become inextricably linked with the series.

We would like to feel like part of the cast, as part of the film industry? Visiting these restaurants or bars is probably the closest you'll get to it, so don't miss the opportunity.

Campbell Apartment: Gossip Girl — New York. It is located in the Grand Central Terminal.
McLaren's: How I Met Your Mother — New York. McLaren's is based on McGee's Pub.
Dmitri's: Orange Is The New Black — New York. It is known by this name in the fictional world, but in reality you will find it under Rosario's. Located in Astoria.
