Dramas might win the awards and critical acclaim, but sitcoms stick with us. Long-running comedies aren’t just shows that we watch as appointment viewing, but as they roll into syndication, they become part of the soundtrack of our lives. We watch How I Met Your Mother while we fold laundry. We catch re-runs of Home Improvement at the doctors’ office. In the case of massive shows like Friends and Seinfeld, we’ve probably spent more time with some of those cast members than some of our own friends and family.
It would make sense, then, that people want to visit the locations that these characters once called home. Many viewers have equally close associations with the restaurants and coffee shops as they do with the characters who passed time there. While the actors have gone on to new projects and left their characters behind, many of the places where they cracked jokes and learned important life lessons can be added to your tourism itinerary. Here are Spots From Your Favorite Sitcoms Worth Visiting Today.
