Top 5: TV Hangouts

The only thing we love more than our favorite sitcoms are the places our favorite characters hang out. From Arnold's Drive-In in Happy Days to the corner restaurant in Seinfeld, viewers are so familiar with these places that they visit their real-life counterparts in droves (myself included - I have a picture of me outside Cheers in Boston!). Out of all the sitcoms out there, now and in syndication, what are you favorite hang outs?

5. The Pizza King, Daria

















Our sarcasm-loving heroine couldn't pass up a good slice at the local pizza place. Daria and Jane visit almost every episode.

Pros: 
- pizza
- not at home with the Morgandorffer's

Cons:
- everyone from Lawndale High inevitably shows up


4. Honker Burger, Doug












In the pilot episode, this is where Doug meets his best friend Skeeter, nemesis Rodger, and main-squeeze Patti Mayonnaise.

Pros:
- the whole restaurant is round
- is the perfect distance for riding your bike from the Funnie's

Cons: 
- you have to order in a weird Bluffington slang and ask for things like a moo cow with no sneakers (burger no onions)


3. The Foreman's Basement, That 70s Show
















Who says a hangout needs to be out of the house? It's the company that important. Unless it's Fez.


Pros:
- cable
- outside entrance
- sometimes Kitty makes snacks

Cons:
Red constantly threatening you with his boot



2. MacLaren's Bar, How I Met Your Mother












The clan on HIMYM loves their beer, and there's no better place than the local bar. Plus you need somewhere to pick up chicks, right?

Pros:
- good food
- permanent table reservation
- great bartenders

Cons:
- Barney hitting on every girl in sight


1. Central Perk, Friends
 















This New York coffee shop is one of the most iconic TV hangouts of recent years. I wonder where that couch is now?

Pros:
- free stuff if Rachel is working
- live music courtesy of Phoebe
- the couch is never taken

Cons:
- the mugs are too big to hold with one hand
