A company out of New York, On Location Tours, takes people on bus tours around major cities, showing them sites from popular movies and TV shows, such as Gossip Girl <\/em>and Sex In the City<\/em> in NYC.<\/p>\n And since the Netflix series, Nobody Wants This<\/em>, (starring the adorbs Adam Brody as a rabbi and Kristen Bell as his non-Jewish love interest,) is perennially in that service\u2019s Top 10, On Location Tours decided to begin their Los Angeles tours with that<\/em> series\u2019 featured locations. Good call.<\/p>\n Truth be told, (as always,) up until the day before the inaugural tour, I had never seen that series. I sort-of wanted<\/em> to, (because Mr. X and I are big fans of Adam, and I heard that his equally adorable wife, Leighton Meester, is also on the show occasionally,) but between my covering other events just about every day\/night, coupled with my insane sports-watching, there\u2019s no time for much else. (Just ask the neglected Mr. X!)<\/p>\n But knowing I would be taking this tour, Mr. X and I made the supreme effort to stay up almost overnight to watch the first five, (of twenty,) episodes of the show the night before. And\u2026we loved it!!! It has such clever writing and excellent performances. We hope to get back to it sometime this summer, if I can finally get a few free minutes.<\/p>\n The Audrey Irmas Pavilion.

We all met-up in Koreatown at a place I had never heard of, the Audrey Irmas Pavilion. I still don\u2019t know the purpose of that building, but it features really unique architecture, which I always appreciate. We boarded a big charter bus with the most pleasant driver ever, which was a bonus. Our tour guide was my fellow Brooklynite named Rachel, who told us her boyfriend lives in France, so perhaps that\u2019s why she has all that time to watch and study the entire series. (I can\u2019t believe that I forgot to compare our hometown\u00a0notes during a break!)<\/p>\n We drove by many locations that are featured in the TV series, such as homes, stores, and outside areas, like one where the couple first kissed. We stopped in front of most of them for a few minutes while Rachel explained the scene(s) to the assemblage. Since I\u2019ve watched only five episodes, and Marc has seen only one, most of the places didn\u2019t mean much to us on the level of the show, but we loved learning of new aspects of LA. And of the couple of houses that are on sale because everyone in LA wants to know more about those<\/em> possibilities!<\/p>\n Harold Henry Park.

There was even a little park in a section called Windsor Village! Who knew?! (Well, I have a feeling my Korean pals do.)<\/p>\n Actually, the revelation of the tour for me was<\/em> that tiny Harold Henry Park right in the middle of Koreatown! I\u2019ve lived in LA since I was a teenager, and had never even heard<\/em> of it before!<\/p>\n Another thing that especially interested me is the very famous art installation outside of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA.) Since it\u2019s right near my Screen Actors Guild headquarters, I\u2019ve, of course, passed by it at least a hundred times in my life. But I never knew that it has a title\u2014Urban Light<\/em>\u2014nor that it’s made up of two hundred and two formerly-working street lamps! And that they operate on solar power, and that in 2018, the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation paid to have them switched to LED, (like I don\u2019t already love that boy enough!) I don\u2019t know how those tidbits relate to Nobody Wants This<\/em>, but I love gaining knowledge like that, especially about my beloved adopted city.<\/p>\n That was the first of three stops the tour made where the participants could get off the bus, so we got to see the lamps up-close and personal, which was a lovely perk. I, of course again, have no time to visit museums, so I loved being an LA tourist at that location for a bit.<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Speaking of being a tourist, I think visitors to LA will really enjoy this activity. Even jaded Angelenos who are Nobody Wants This<\/em> fans, (which must be a big number since it\u2019s one of the top rated shows,) should be on board for this tour. If even I<\/em> learned something new about LA on this one, I\u2019m sure that everyone<\/em> will!<\/p>\n Marc made a big suggestion for you potential tour guests, with which I totally concur. We strongly recommend that you bring a snack so you don\u2019t make the one rude mistake that we<\/em> did. (And you know how much I detest rudeness; I\u2019ve been up at night this week, making myself sick that I<\/em> was not good to those few people, even by accident.) Since I\u2019d tell on others, I have to also tattle on our<\/em> behavior: When the rest of the guests went into a resale store to shop, (which is a scheduled stop,) Marc and I went a few edifices down to get sandwiches instead\u2014he was starving and I desperately needed water. Even though we ordered right away, and there were no other customers there, the kind girls making the sammies took longer than we expected, which, in turn, caused\u00a0us to hold up the bus for about five extra minutes, which you know I hated doing. So I say that everyone should bring a snack. And a big bottle of water! You\u2019ll be glad you did. (And so will the rest of the guests!)<\/p>\n For all the pertinent info on this tour, click here: onlocationtours.com\/locations\/nobody-wants-this-series-filming-sites-tour<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cNOBODY WANTS THIS\u201d SERIES FILMING SITES TOUR There\u2019s a new entry into the \u201cFun Event\u201d category in Los Angeles, and my friend Marc and I were among the very first to experience it last week.
