Where to Eat:
Farley's Restaurant
The restaurant has a picture on its website of when Rainn Wilson, a.k.a. The Office's creepy brown-noser "Dwight," stopped by (we're not exactly sure why, since the show is filmed in Los Angeles). "I want to be to 'The Office' what Monk's Restaurant was to 'Seinfeld,' " said Bill Young, owner of Farley's, in a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article. He plans to add a Michael Scott burger to the menu in the fall.
Where to Drink (coffee):
Outrageous
The lone few hipsters who got lost taking an ironic trip to the Poconos and wandered into Scranton can hang out at The Coffee House at Outrageous, a mural-covered café on Center Street that sells both jewelry and coffee. The owners love the show, although Michael wouldn't be caught dead at such an artsy fartsy place. He prefers accosting waitresses at Hooters and Chili's, or dining on authentic Italian at Sbarro's.
Where to Hang Out:
Steamtown Mall
If you're 14, we hear from our blogger source that this is the place to be. Jitterz, on the second floor of the mall, is particularly cool with the pubescent set, and landed a specific shout-out on the show. Behind the mall is the Steamtown National Historic Site, which offers train rides (to nowhere) and a demonstration of the inner workings of a steam locomotive.
