[title]
The Krusty Krab is coming to Palestine. Yes, you read that correctly. SpongeBob SquarePants's beloved place of work is getting the real-life treatment in Ramallah (we have always been curious about those Krabby patties), but it's not the first time a made-up eatery has crossed over to reality: Bubba Gump's is a real-deal chain, Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand popped up in Times Square last year and amusement parks are rife with 'em, like that Homer favorite Moe's Tavern at Universal Studios. And there's plenty more fictional restaurants and bars we wish we could eat and drink at—fifty, in fact (in no particular order). And before you ask, no, you won't find Central Perk here—the service is terrible and the big comfy couch is always taken.
1. Dorsia from American Psycho
Why: Because we hear the sea-urchin ceviche at this impossible-to-get-in spot is to die for. (Right, Paul Allen?)
2. Los Pollos Hermanos from Breaking Bad
Why: Because even though the threat of being offed by a Mexican cartel is higher than your average chicken joint, that fried bird looks damn good.
3. Luke's Diner from Gilmore Girls
Why: Because the only thing Luke Danes serves more than coffee is sheer sass.
4. The Three Broomsticks from the Harry Potter series
Why: Because our childish desire to drink our weight in butterbeer has fully transferred over to adulthood. (And yes, we know it exists in Orlando, but it's not the same. It's just not.)
5. Joe's Pie Diner from Waitress
Why: Because Felicity, er, Keri Russell can whip up a pie to satisfy any mood.
6. Jack Rabbit Slim's from Pulp Fiction
Why: Because you can get your burgers "bloody as hell," your shakes "Martin and Lewis" and you can twist the calories off in a dance contest.
7. The Mos Eisley Cantina from Star Wars
Why: Because it's the jazziest bar this side of Tatooine.
8. The Iron Horse from Freaks and Geeks

Why: Because Justin Timberlake dancing while dressed as a giant egg was something we didn't know we needed in life.

Why: Because there's no better way to wash down a double Smiley burger than with a sardonic Kevin Spacey.
11. The chocolate shop in Chocolat

Why: Because ice-cream sundaes served by football-playing hunks? Where do we sign?
