Seinfeld was that far uptown?

[Jon]

I guess. Upper West Side.

[Jon]

Much of the show's action takes place in Jerry's apartment located in New York City at 129 West 81st Street, apartment 5A (3A in seasons 1 and 2). He and his friends also frequently have coffee or meals together at Monk's Café.

Eh, upper west side. Did not know that. From the map it looks like he's in Harlem.

[Jon]

I thought so too, but I checked Google maps and the northern tip of Roosevelt island is roughly across from 86th st.

I thought Cosby was as in Philadelphia?

"The Cosby Show is an American television sitcom co-created by and starring Bill Cosby. The series aired from September 20, 1984, to April 30, 1992, on NBC. It focuses on an upper middle-class African-American family living in Brooklyn, New York; the series was based on comedy routines in Cosby's stand-up comedy act, which in turn were based on his family life.

Cosby is from Philadelphia, but the show is in NYC.

So a real working cafe? I wondered, finally decided it was a studio prop.

[Jon]

I don’t know, I just copied that from somewhere.
