There s no Central Perk, but the Seinfeld locations are real. There are guided tours of the places that inspired Seinfeld, some are even hosted by Kenny Kramer, the inspiration for Cosmo Kramer.If you don t want to pay for the guided tour: Monk s RestaurantThe diner in question is in reality called Tom s Restaurant, and it is located at 112th and Broadway on Manhattan s Upper West Side.The Soup Nazi Believe it or not, there is also a real Soup Nazi . His name is Al Yeganeh, and his first business was called Soup Kitchen International, a little place on West 55th Street where he served up his delicious soups. That place is now closed, but his franchise is now called The Original Soup Man with locations around NYC.Mendy s This chain is still around - 5 or 6 locations in the city. Check the link below for details...New York locals know that many of the locations mentioned on Seinfeld exist in reality, from Roosevelt Hospital where Kramer sees the infamous pig man to the West Side YMCA where Jerry and George meet baseball player Keith Hernandez. H H Bagels, Barneys, and the NBC building at Rockefeller Center are also significant Seinfeld landmarks.
