Jerry Seinfeld & Cosmo Kramer Apartment — Local services in New York

The Seinfeld & Kramer pad at 129 W 81st St, Apt 5A & 5B, is the Upper West Side’s sitcom shrine, where the spirit of “nothing” reigns supreme. This unassuming brownstone, tucked on a tree-lined street, hides its TV stardom behind a facade that’s less glamorous than Kramer’s hot tub dreams. Architecturally, it’s classic New York—narrow, charming, and probably rent-controlled (how else does a stand-up comic afford this place?). The real exterior, though, is a Los Angeles imposter (757 S. New Hampshire Ave.), which is like finding out your fusilli Jerry is made of rigatoni.

The vibe screams, “Serenity now!” but don’t be surprised if you feel a little “yada yada yada” trying to reconcile the real building with the TV magic. It’s a must-visit for fans, but don’t try walking to Monk’s Café on a hot summer day—it’s 30 blocks away...

On the plus side, there's often free food to be had, and a brand new bike hanging up that's never even been used! The hallway doesn't quite seem to line up with the apartments, but you can't go past it for those cool evening breezes of Anytown, USA that...

lived here for a few years, the neighbors we're nice but had always something going on, at the end of the hallway, kramerica industries was being run out of 1 the apartment there and one of the tenants was a post office worker always obsessed with mail, and was the go to guy when we had any dog noise problems, I think the super had it in for him was always trying to evict him and his friend Kramer. They served great...
