For Angelenos, playing "name that spot" to see who can identify the L.A. locations quickest is half the fun of watching "Entourage" and at least part of the reason we still tune in. The show features hotspots of the moment, as well as classics that have seen more fads than Betty White and transcended the average life expectancy of popular L.A. businesses.
