Tom's Restaurant: Monk Doesn't Live Here Anymore
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The southern façade of this restaurant on the Upper West Side served as a cutaway shot in Seinfeld, although in the show, it was called Monk’s Restaurant where Jerry et al. hung out. In reality, all scenes inside the restaurant were shot on Stage 9 at CBS Studio Center in Studio City.

    Both food and price are average, however the restaurant is filled almost at all time with college students, and packed in the weekends with tourists and participants of Kramer Reality Tour.

    It is this restaurant that served for exterior shots of the "Seinfeld" diner scenes. The inside is somewhat reminiscent of the show's set but has been remodeled in recent years I believe. I've been here a couple times and was pleased with the food and the service.

    Tom's Restaurant: Seinfeld 's famous restaurant
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Seinfeld's choice of his regular meet up place. Nothing fancy & nothing great.
    No need to go in, just take a picture in the front & call it a day for the sake of the famous comedy show based on NY

    Food is good 'ole diner style. Many choices on the menu. Breakfast, lunch and dinner menus.

    I had a burger. Wasn't the best, but it was OK. The atmosphere is relaxed, and they certainly do not rush you at all which is nice.

    The restaurant is run by Greek migrants, now American citizens. I asked the guy at the counter if he'd seen any of the Seinfeld actors, and he replied "Seinfeld only". I found that quite interesting, especially when there are photos and paintings of "Kramer" around also.

    I only had one meal, so I cannot say.

    Tom's Restaurant: Seinfeld was here
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Does it look familiar? Imagine a group of New Yorkers sit inside and come up with the idea of a show about nothing...

    I'm a big Seinfeld fan, so I have to visit Tom's Restaurant. It's located just north of Central Park near Columbia University. I had my breakfast here one morning. Inside it's much darker and looked quite different from the TV. (The whole Seinfeld show was taped in California.) I ordered omelet. The food was so so and over-priced. The restaurant seemed to be run by an Italian family.

    Tom's Restaurant: Toms Diner, where Seinfeldt...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Toms Diner, where Seinfeldt and his friends go in the TV series.
    This is the facade you see when watching Seinfeldt on TV, but the interior is a different one.

    I was surprized to see that their prizes didn't differ much from other diners in the area.

  • Theme: Other
  • Directions: On the corner of Broadway and west 109th (or 111th? I have to look that up in my notes).

    Tom's Restaurant: Famous

  • The famous "Seinfeld" restaurant serves your basic burgers, gyro platters and very inexpensive breakfasts. Don't expect superb service here

    Good breakfast

    Tom's Restaurant: Seinfeld Fans: Tom's...
    Seinfeld Fans: Tom's Restaurant. (Diner)
    Tom's: If you are a Seinfeld Fan, you'll recognize the sign. And we all know that annoying Suzanne Vega song, 'Tom's Diner'. (do do do do, do dit doo doo, doot dit doo doo do do doo do...) The song is all about Tom's. It's your basic greasy spoon, incredibly cheap and fast.

    Tom's: Have a milkshake and soak up the atmosphere at the counter. Or you can sing 'Tom's Diner' by Suzanne Vega while you sip a coffee.
