Also any other cool seinfeld locations in NYC? Thanks Tue Mar 08 11:17:29 -0800 2005 0 brian schwartz 1 1170057 The Soup Nazi is called the International Soup Kitchen, on 55th Street, but he hasn't opened this year. "Monks" Diner is Tom's Diner, but only the exterior was used, looks nothing like it does inside. You do know that Seinfeld was shot in California on sound stages and backlots. Tue Mar 08 11:20:07 -0800 2005 1170056 0 ito 2 1170058 Tom's Diner is on 112th and Broadway. I would not reccomend any of the food there. Take a picture in front and get right back on the subway! (Or, go walk around the Columbia campus, which is nice). Tue Mar 08 11:21:36 -0800 2005 1170057 0 Jessica 3 1170096 Munson's Diner was used for the outside shot of the "Bizaro" diner. It is on 11th Ave and 49th Street, but it closed a few months ago. Tue Mar 08 13:47:00 -0800 2005 1170058 0 Beth 3 1170227 They don't give free coffee refills at Tom's. Bummer. Wed Mar 09 11:30:37 -0800 2005 1170058 0 Clarissa 3 1170435 I disagree. Took a group there a few months back, and had great diner food at Tom's. Burgers n' fries, grilled cheese, etc., but from my experience, Tom's does diner food well. No "big salad" though. Surprised they don't play up the Seinfeld angle more. Thu Mar 10 09:54:54 -0800 2005 1170058 0 Dan in LIC 1 1170064 Kramer loved the Papaya King....various locations, recommended Tue Mar 08 11:48:40 -0800 2005 1170056 0 Cpalms 2 1170075 and if you can find a Kenny Rogers Roasters, let me know where! Tue Mar 08 12:16:14 -0800 2005 1170064 0 big ern 3 1170083 i believe there is a kenny rogers roasters lumped with the nathans and arthur treachers in manhattan mall food court. The food stand is tiny, the food probably won't be all that great. Tue Mar 08 12:40:28 -0800 2005 1170075 0 anony 3 1170142 There's a Kenny Rogers Roasters clustered with other fast food places on 8th Avenue near 44th Street. Tue Mar 08 16:34:44 -0800 2005 1170075 0 Victor 3 1170226 The Kenny Roger's Roasters on which the episode was based is closed now. It was on the UWS. Wed Mar 09 11:29:14 -0800 2005 1170075 0 Clarissa 1 1170071 You may want to check out this link http://www.kennykramer.com/RealityTourText.html This guy Kenny is supposed to be the original Kramer and offers a tour. I've never taken it, or known anyone who has. Tue Mar 08 12:01:14 -0800 2005 1170056 0 HwtStar 2 1170076 But he gives you a free pizza bagel and bite-sized Snickers bar during the tour. Tue Mar 08 12:17:03 -0800 2005 1170071 0 eric 3 1170101 What, no Junior Mints? (They're very refreshing.) Tue Mar 08 14:03:39 -0800 2005 1170076 0 neighbor 4 1170102 I took the tour. I totally recommend it. Kenny is a character, it's a lot of fun, and you will learn a lot about the origins of the show. He will take you by Tom's and the Soup Kitchen. Tue Mar 08 14:16:36 -0800 2005 1170101 0 zEli173 1 1170091 While it hasn't been updated in a few years, this fan's site will give you a rundown of Seinfeld-related NYC locations. Have fun, but please don't stalk the cast -- unlike LA, we don't do such things here :) http://home.earthlink.net/~asena/news.html Link: http://home.earthlink.net/~asena/news.html Tue Mar 08 13:06:56 -0800 2005 1170056 0 Josh 1 1170187 The Chinese restaurant that didn't seat them is on 5th Ave just south of 33rd St. The food is bad. Tue Mar 08 20:14:44 -0800 2005 1170056 0 LES Resident 2 1170215 Not anymore--urban renewal of that block pushed them up 5th Ave a few blocks, I think around 35th.
