Map of Seinfeld Tour

Seinfeld tourism is the sightseeing and exploration of real-life locations featured in the television series Seinfeld. Like Cosmo Kramer in "The Muffin Tops", you too can see the locations from the small screen with your own eyes.

New York City

The diner "Tom's Restaurant"—the exterior shot of the restaurant was used in the show as the permanent meeting place of the main characters
  • 1 H&H Bagels, 2239 Broadway, corner of 80th St., Upper West Side. The store where Kramer worked until 1985, and briefly again in 1997 after calling off his twelve-year strike (a raise in the minimum wage had made his salary demands moot), was right on the southwest corner of 80th St. and Broadway. Though that location closed in 2012, H&H Midtown Bagels East continues to do business under different ownership at 1551 2nd Ave. between 80th and 81st Sts.
  • 2 John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK IATA), +1 718 244-4444. Where, while waiting to pick up Jerry from a flight coming in from St. Louis, George taunts a convict under police escort and Kramer confronts an old acquaintance who borrowed money from him 20 years ago and never repaid it—both with disastrous results.

  • 3 LaGuardia Airport (LGA IATA), La Guardia Rd. and 94th St., East Elmhurst, Queens, +1 718 533-3400. Site of the Diplomat's Club, where Kramer made and then lost thousands of dollars betting on the arrival times of incoming flights (once putting up David Berkowitz's mail bag, a keepsake of Newman's, as collateral). LaGuardia Airport (Q319654) on Wikidata LaGuardia Airport on Wikipedia
  • 4 Queensboro Plaza Station, 27th St. and Queens Plaza, Long Island City, Queens. Supposedly the home of the best gyros in the New York City subway system—the tzatziki sauce from which stained one of the issues of Frank Costanza's beloved TV Guide magazine collection. Queensboro Plaza (Q2177925) on Wikidata Queensboro Plaza (New York City Subway) on Wikipedia
  • 5 Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Our Lord. Provided the external shots for the Latvian Orthodox church where George attempts to convert, and Kramer discovers his kavorka, almost tempting a clergywoman into giving up her faith.

  • 6 Tom's Restaurant, 2880 Broadway, Morningside Heights, +1 212-864-6137, . Repurposed by the show as Monk's Cafe, the gang's favorite hangout. Outside the Seinfeld universe, it's best known as the setting for Suzanne Vega's 1987 hit song, "Tom's Diner".
  • 7 West Side YMCA, 5 W. 63rd St., Upper West Side, +1 212 912-2600. M-F 5AM-11PM, Sa 7Am-8PM, Su 8AM-8PM. In the men's locker room, Jerry meets his idol, former New York Mets player Keith Hernandez—who goes on to woo Elaine and get confronted by Kramer and Newman, who accuse him of spitting on them after a crucial game in the 1987 World Series.
  • 8 Yankee Stadium, 161st St and River Ave., The Bronx. Home of the New York Yankees, George's employer during the sixth, seventh, and most of the eighth season. The Yankee Stadium where George worked was torn down in 2009-10 and is now a park; the baseball team now plays in a new building on the other side of 161st St., also called Yankee Stadium.

Los Angeles

  • 9 The location where the front of Jerry Seinfeld's apartment was shot, 757 S New Hampshire Avenue, Los Angeles.
