Epting offers a road map to places you may have visited often in your nightmares, such as the Evans City, Pa., cemetery in Night of the Living Dead and the treacherous staircase in Washington, D.C., where the devil sent victims hurtling to their deaths in The Exorcist.

What’s Tony Soprano’s Business in the Ladies’ Room?

New York's travel industry is well aware that some tourists are more eager to see Sex and the City hot spots than the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The Sex and the City bus tour takes you to Carrie's shopping haunts, not to mention the Pleasure Chest, the specialty store where the girls buy sex toys, and the downtown church where Samantha tried to seduce a priest.

"The church officials let us bring people there. They're very nice about it, and many of the people come dressed as a Sex and the City girl," says Georgette Blau, president of On Location Tours.

The Sopranos bus tour takes visitors to Satin Dolls, the Lodi, N.J., strip club that serves as the Bada Bing — the Soprano crew's hangout. The notoriety has been a windfall in sweatshirt and souvenir profits for the club.

The tour proves — among other things — that Tony Soprano conducts business from what's actually the Satin Doll's ladies’ room. Also, New Jersey law bans all-nude acts. The club strippers actually show more on TV.

Sue Sadik, a 42-year-old former private detective who's better known as "Soprano Sue," documents every shallow grave and dive bar in Soprano gangland. Just don't take her to Tony's house, where residents have complained of thrill-seeking fans.

"For me, it's sacred ground," says Sadik.

Owning a private home used as an exterior shot in a movie or TV show can be a pain. Just ask the California residents who own the Brady Bunch home in Studio City or the Poltergeist home in Simi Valley.

It's no wonder you'll rarely hear a real address on a TV show. In Manhattan, the Park Avenue apartment building shown on the TV version of The Odd Couple still receives mail for Oscar and Felix.
