With this guide, you'll be able to enjoy creme brulée with

Forget the everyday. This Guide lets you travel to fictitious
places: dare you brave the waters off 'Amity Island' (Jaws)?
do you want to soak up some rays with Tom Ripley on ‘Mongibello’
(The
Talented Mr Ripley)? Or explore the sinister streets
of 'Lumbertown' (Blue
Velvet)?
And why limit yourself to this world? Enjoy breakfast with
Luke Skywalker on 'Tatooine' (Star
Wars), visit Calima, the birthplace of ape civilisation
(Planet
of the Apes) or gaze out from Naboo's Lake Country
retreat with Anakin and Padme (Attack
of the Clones).
And what other guide allows you to travel in time as well
as space: LA of the 30s with JJ Gittes (Chinatown).
LA of the 50s with Russell Crowe (LA
Confidential). LA of the 90s with Pacino
and De
Niro (Heat)
and even LA of 2019 with Rick Deckard (Blade
Runner).

EMPIRE
Check out the tricks of the trade: see how 'New York' was
recreated in Trieste, Italy (Godfather
