"  We tend to get drawn into our favorite TV shows; we know what the characters do for a living and are privy to their groups of friends. But in order to really love a sitcom or dramatic series, it must be set to perfection\u2014in other words, it&amp;#039;s all about the hangout spots. From the Three&amp;#039;s Company bar, Regal Beagle, to Beverly Hills, 90210&amp;#039;s diner, the Peach Pit, these renowned places\u2014where our favorite small-screen characters gathered\u2014ignite big memories for those of us who loyally tuned in. Reminisce with us as you check out these 10 famous spots where love, laughs and drama all unfolded\u2014and where everyone definitely knew one another&amp;#039;s names. Monk&amp;#039;s Caf\u00E9  Seinfeld  Originally Aired: July 1989 \u2013 May 1998     The opening-credit shot of this corner diner, known to Seinfeld cast members as Monk&amp;#039;s Caf\u00E9, is of the New York City eatery Tom&amp;#039;s Restaurant, located on Manhattan&amp;#039;s Upper West Side. The coffee shop is where Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer\u2014all characters from the show based on writer Larry David&amp;#039;s life\u2014would meet to drink coffee and chat over the latest topic of obsession.  Moe&amp;#039;s Tavern  The Simpsons  Originally Aired: December 1989 - Present     This neighborhood dive bar, owned by the curmudgeonly ex-boxer Moe, is the gathering place for the town boozers. It&amp;#039;s where the big-eyed, four-fingered Springfield residents quickly gulp foamy mugs of beer in one swig while partaking in dim conversations about the day. And even though The Simpsons is America&amp;#039;s longest-running TV sitcom, we never tire of Bart&amp;#039;s prank calls to the tavern. We can hear Moe now: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m looking for a Jacques Strap!&amp;quot;  Bluth&amp;#039;s Original Frozen Banana Stand  Arrested Development  Originally Aired: November 2003 \u2013 February 2006     As George Bluth, Sr., says, &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s always money in the banana stand.&amp;quot; Located on the Newport Beach boardwalk, Bluth&amp;#039;s Original Frozen Banana Stand was one of the only profitable businesses in the crumbling Bluth real estate empire. Ruined and rebuilt several times throughout the three-season series, it&amp;#039;s always restored in the spirit of teaching George-Michael the true value of hard work, a lesson he can hardly learn from his once-wealthy, now disruptive relatives.  Central Perk  Friends  Originally Aired: September 1994 \u2013 May 2004     This fictitious Greenwich Village coffee shop based on Cholmondeley&amp;#039;s, a favorite Brandeis University hangout of the show&amp;#039;s creators, was the only prominent, non-apartment set for the 10-season series. It&amp;#039;s where Friends&amp;#039; characters Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey and Phoebe spent time chatting, poking fun at the head waiter, Gunther, and lounging on couches\u2014with signature oversize mugs cupped firmly in their hands.  Caf\u00E9 Nervosa  Frasier  Originally Aired: September 1993 \u2013 May 2004     Caf\u00E9 Nervosa serves as a respectful, espresso-worthy coffee shop often visited by the Crane brothers, Frasier and Niles. It&amp;#039;s a far cry from the Cheers pub, where the Frasier character originated, but a perfect fit for Frasier, since the show is set in Seattle, Washington\u2014home of the Starbucks Corporation. The meaning of the fictional caf\u00E9&amp;#039;s name is nervous in Italian, a perfect tie-in to Frasier Crane&amp;#039;s psychiatric line.  Arnold&amp;#039;s Drive-In  Happy Days  Originally Aired: January 1974 \u2013 July 1984     Taking place during the late &amp;#039;50s/early &amp;#039;60s in Milwaukee, Happy Days had two main sets: the Cunningham home and Arnold&amp;#039;s Drive-In. The Milky Way Diner in Glendale, Wisconsin, was the inspiration behind this swingin&amp;#039; eatery, where Richie, Ralph and fan-favorite Arthur &amp;quot;The Fonz&amp;quot; Fonzarelli spent the majority of their time. Clad with college pennants and a jukebox filled with doo-wop songs, the drive-in was where the Happy Days 30th-anniversary reunion was set. Regal Beagle  Three&amp;#039;s Company  Originally Aired: March 1977 \u2013 September 1984     One of three hangouts for cooking-school student Jack Tripper, florist Janet Wood and secretary Chrissy Snow, this is where the trio often spent time conjuring up schemes to get themselves out of messy situations. Long-standing jokes at the faux neighborhood bar were frequently based on Jack&amp;#039;s sexuality and Chrissy&amp;#039;s blonde moments.  Cheers  Cheers  Originally Aired: September 1982 \u2013 May 1993     The neighborhood pub from the much-loved comedy series Cheers was the soul of the NBC sitcom. Much of the gossip-fueled banter, which centered on the idiosyncratic cast members Ted Danson (Sam; bar owner), Shelley Long (Diane; waitress), Rhea Perlman (Carla; waitress), George Wendt (Norm; bar regular), John Ratzenberger (Cliff; bar regular) and Nicholas Colasanto (Coach; bartender), took place in the main room and office of this famous Boston tavern.  Peach Pit  Beverly Hills, 90210  Originally Aired: October 1990 \u2013 May 2000     The diner (along with its do-gooder owner, Nat) was as much a part of Beverly Hills, 90210\u2014the teen drama that claimed the primetime spot on Fox for 10 years running\u2014as the sibling characters, Brenda and Brandon Walsh. The hangout/second home was where the weekly troubles would unfold for the twins and their romantically entangled friends Kelly Taylor, Steve Sanders, Donna Martin and David Silver.  Joe&amp;#039;s Emerald City Bar  Grey&amp;#039;s Anatomy  Originally Aired: March 2005 - Present     It&amp;#039;s here, at the pub across from the infamous Seattle Grace Hospital, where the McDreamies, McSteamies and determined up-and-coming surgeons of the television world unite after a long day of saving lives (and having secret trysts) to shake off the day&amp;#039;s failures, celebrate medical breakthroughs and claim one another&amp;#039;s hearts.
