No it isn't. It is in Springfield, MA about 15-20 miles away. :P But not in NoHo.
At least not to my knowledge. The amount of references is insane. I also love when his characters walk down main street because I recognize every building. It's really wild to see such a succesful comic strip that's based so close to home.
Like when Marten and Padma go hiking on Mt Tom? My best friend from childhood lives at the foot of Mt Tom. We'd hike it every weekend. That amazing view when Padma almost falls? Totally accurate representation. Though the reality is much prettier. It's so much fun. I feel so lucky to live here and know all these locations.

Living somewhere that is being depicted in art can be strange, as well. I know Oxford as well as you'd expect from living here for much of my life (as a child as well as later). It is quite disconcerting, when watching Morse or Lewis on the TV to see them walk through a gate or round a corner that I know well and emerge in a completely different part of town!
DrBear:
Random thought after reading this - I'm tempted to go on Google Street View and take a look around the place...
jwhouk:
144 Dwight Street is supposedly the address for a factory of some sort, last time I looked.
Is it cold in here?:
The wiki has articles for places mentioned in the comic. If you want to add/edit articles, it would be really cool to know the real-life places that correspond to Fresh Cuts Salon, "that tapas place on Elm", and so on.
