The Geography of Seinfeld

For those who loved Seinfeld, New York will always be a special place and now thanks to Google, you won’t have to pay a tour company a lot of bucks just to see the special sites.

Fans can print out a Google map complete with markers all over Manhattan showing where scenes and episodes took place. The map even includes facts and trivia about the locations. For example, Jerry’s apartment is indicated on 81st and Columbus and the map also informs readers that Jerry Seinfeld actually lived in that apartment while he performed stand up routines in the city.

The most famous, of course, is the Soup Nazi, whose location is faithfully recorded on the Google map, but the Regency Theatre is on the map, the place where Jerry took a girlfriend and was caught making out, as is the Roosevelt Hospital where George finds “the perfect parking spot” and where Kramer liberates a “pigman” and drops a Junior Mint into a patient’s open body cavity.

For those who loved the show but can’t make it to New York, the map is available online and makes for some interesting reading.
