Firs make the API call - /me/statuses to get all the status of the user.
Permission required: user_status
Demo

You'll get the response as-

{
   "data":[
     {
       "id": "10152044171758611", 
       "updated_time": "2014-02-15T12:12:59+0000"
     }, 
     {
        "place": {
            "id": "XXXXXXXXXXXXX", 
            "name": "XXXXXXX", 
            "location": {
               "city": "XXXXXXX", 
               "country": "XXXXXX", 
               "latitude": 28.573024614741, 
               "longitude": 77.230443565217, 
               "street": "XXXXXXXXXX", 
               "zip": "XXXXXXXX"
             }
        }, 
        "id": "XXXXXXXXX", 
        "updated_time": "2014-02-10T18:13:36+0000"
     }, 
     ... 
  ]
}

Check if the element has place field, that means this status has some place with it. Fetch the place details. That's it!
