Los Angeles, USA

While you might not catch Ryan Gosling tickling the ivories or Emma Stone twirling on the dance floor, you can still capture the magic of the movies at this Hermosa Beach jazz club. Nestled behind a neon sign that's become an iconic beacon for music lovers, this club has been a haven for jazz and bebop aficionados since the 1940s. The venue draws a bustling crowd, especially for its jazz brunch on Sundays and happy hours during the week, offering comfort foods and live performances. (For the die-hard fans of La La Land, keep an eye out for the lighthouse medallion from the movie, discreetly placed behind the stage.) Bring a date for a moment of connection over a jazz set and an ice-cold Coke. The Lighthouse Cafe’s Recipe for Magic: Hot jazz. Hot brunch. Ice-cold Coca-Cola.

Sölden, Austria

James Bond, with his unrivaled access to the world's most exclusive locales, hit up the Austrian Alps during the filming of 2015's Spectre. In the film, this cutting-edge architectural marvel served as a futuristic medical clinic, but in reality, it stands as a sophisticated bar-restaurant perched high above sea level. Here, gourmet meals are served alongside the Vesper martinis beloved by Bond aficionados—the establishment proudly displays its connection to the legendary spy through a dedicated exhibition.

If there’s a movie scene that makes you want to leap through the screen to get a taste, it's the delightfully indulgent “I Want Candy” sequence in Marie Antoinette. Amid the opulent backdrop of the Palace of Versailles, Marie indulges in luxurious shopping sprees for dresses, shoes and wigs, all while enjoying an array of sumptuous desserts like decadent cakes, pastel macarons and cream-filled pastries, courtesy of the famed Parisian bakery Ladurée. While an invitation to Versailles may not be forthcoming, you can still live like royalty for a day at Ladurée's prestigious location on the Champs Elysées in Paris. And let’s not forget that Ladurée offers much more than entrements—prepare to feast on lobster roll, filet de bœuf, a crispy chicken burger or avocado toast with salmon.

San Diego, USA

This BBQ joint was opened by two Kansas Citians who left for the sunny skies of San Diego.

Now, you can drink and dine in the “Top Gun bar” where Goose, Maverick and the gang brought the house down. Even if you can’t sing “Great Balls of Fire,” you can recreate the moment with your own loyal crew with a pork spare rib sandwich, a side of KC fried pickles and an ice-cold Coca-Cola. Kansas City Barbeque’s Recipe for Magic: Partying with pals. KC-style spare ribs. Ice-cold Coca-Cola.

London, England

When Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts went on a date in 1999’s Notting Hill, their combined star wattage was so great they could have popped out all of the lights in Nobu. Much of the movie takes place in the rarified spaces of Roberts’ movie star character’s favorite spots, and Nobu ranks high among them. They don’t eat any food at Nobu—the date is cut short after Hugh Grant makes a grand romantic gesture—although Roberts does recommend the tuna. On her recommendation, order the tuna tataki with tosazu or spicy tuna sashimi to create a memorable moment on a date of your own. Nobu’s Recipe for Magic: Spicy convos. Spicy tuna.
