Breaking Bad has pretty much taken over local businesses in Albuquerque New Mexico. 

The locations of A1A Car Wash (which Walt buys to launder money through) and Los Pollos Hermanos chicken shop (owned by Gus) are both real and functioning businesses (under different names) in the area. 

Also in the region are the White and Schrader residences that fans have also been known to visit or drive by. In fact, fans are so eager that the real owner of Walter White's house has put out a public request for fans to stop throwing pizza on his roof, which is an iconic scene in the show.

The height of the show has influenced local businesses, with bakeries and gift shops selling Heisenberg themed goodies for all.

What else to do there: The city has a fair few museums and zoos, as well as an amusement park.
