3 . Ever find yourself wondering what it might be like to live in some of TV's most famous homes? Famous homes can become part of the reason you fall in love with a series, so here are some of our favorites.
Big Little Lies: Madeline’s house
By far the most beautiful beach nest in the series is Madeline's house, which is actually located in Malibu. The real house boasts seven bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and a balcony surrounded by walls providing some unreal ocean views. The house is said to have its fair share of celebrity guests too. It's no wonder why!
Modern Family: Jay’s house
The two-story contemporary home is bursting with bold colors and animal prints, with many guessing that the decoration channels Gloria's strong personality. But it's the back yard that makes the house so appealing. The huge pool that's frequently spotted in various episodes is a strong reminder that we need to move to destination with more sunshine on offer.
American Horror Story: The Coven house
Although taken over by witches in the series and called “Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies”, the elegant house is actually called Buckner Mansion. The famous home is complete with tall ceilings, impressive chandeliers, and stairs that go on forever. You can't actually visit the mansion, but you can stroll by it.
The Sopranos: Tony's house
The spacious New Jersey home has a huge dining area, four bedrooms, an outside pool, and that famous curved driveway featured in the opening credits. It's no wonder the famous house has just gone on the market for 3.4 million! Research shows that the mansion may have more than doubled in value since the show. It's still on the market so you too could live like a TV star!

7 . For Stevens Point locals in the US, the city is flooded with delicious fried fish. Here are four top choices for the community to have a try.
Hilltop Pub&Grill
Hilltop Pub&Grill first opened in the 1980s and took the Stevens Point community by storm with its delicious food and unique decoration style. Its fried fish are beloved due to the use of “high-quality North Atlantic fish, with a light beer batter (面糊)”.
The Final Score Bar&Grill
The Final Score Bar&Grill aimed to become a local hot spot in 2001 when Jim Billings, the owner, took charge of the business. Billings feels that their five batter choices set them apart from their neighboring bars. Besides, various wines are available.
Point After Pub&Grill
Point After Pub&Grill started serving delicious food and cold beers in a welcoming environment in 2009. But its history runs much longer. “Before it was Point After Pub&Grill, it had been Northside Bar for 30 plus years,” explained Molski, the owner. Molski feels that the pub’s four special batter choices and other fish specials are what help make it an area landmark.
Two Harps Pub
This Irish pub opened its doors to the public in 2017 and has been drawing fans and locals ever since. “I had done my career for a long time and was kind of bored with it,” said Nick Moore, the owner. “And this opportunity fell into my lap, so I went with it.
