One more place before going home.
The friends keep moving because somewhere else might offer a better conversation or a fresh start. These locations make that restless social circuit visible. The clubs and restaurants have their own present-day lives; visit for a meal or a performance, rather than expecting the same night the characters had.
Locations are sequenced as a fan journey, not a plot recap. Songs, scenes and episodes lead the route; changed, private and doubled sites are labelled rather than smoothed into fiction.
5 public-place or area references. Private properties and unlocated historic sites stay off the map.

02Canter’s appears along the convoy’s route. It is a passing city reference rather than the diner used for the film’s main heart-to-heart conversations.
Check current opening hours, admission and event tickets. Use public visitor areas and respect restricted spaces.
03Musso & Frank’s parking lot doubles for the Dresden’s in the confrontation outside. The edit connects two separate Hollywood locations.
Use the restaurant as a customer or view from the public street. The working parking lot is not an unrestricted photo stop.
04The Derby’s swing-night interior embodied the revivalist scene; the venue closed and the site’s use changed.

No strong current event association is published for this World. We would rather leave this quiet than force a generic city listing.
A shared venue or neighbourhood connects a programme to the map; a city-level programme connects only to the World’s medium. Neither implies a themed event, cast appearance or artist performance. Confirm dates, location, access and tickets with the organiser.
