Tom's Restaurant (Seinfeld 'Monk's Café' exterior)

Tom's Restaurant at 2880 Broadway in Morningside Heights is a functioning diner whose exterior was used for the fictional Monk's Café establishing shots in the television series Seinfeld. Interior sitcom scenes were filmed on sets in Los Angeles, but the building's facade became a frequent photo destination for fans visiting New York. The diner continues to operate and is widely associated with the show's pop-culture legacy.
