In one of the episodes with Keith Hernandez, George says Jerry's address is 129 West 81st St. However, the outside of the apartment building where he lives has the number 757 on it. What's the deal?

A lot of times, buildings in NYC will have two addresses. The main entrance might be on a side street, e.g., West 81st, whereas the address will be for the north-south Avenue. This is especially common in the West 90s and West `100s, where buildings will use a Riverside Drive address even though you enter off the side street.

If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't 129 West 81st be near West End Avenue? Maybe his building is both 757 West End Avenue and 129 West 81st Street.

I gotta get back to work, why am I wasting my time on this nonsense? :-)
