Fans debate which NYC subway station features Kramer offering Elaine gyros, with discussion settling on Queensborough Plaza in Queens as the likely location from the episode.

Folks,

I got in a bitter argument about an old episode where Kramer and Elaine are in the subway and at one station Kramer stands up and asks Elaine if she'd like a Gyros; they're great at this station.

I thought it was the 42nd st. station and my friend thought is was 5th Avenue.

Does anyone remember the correct subway station ???

Wasn't it somewhere in Queens or Brooklyn?...they were on their way to Coney Island or possibly George's.

The Subway station was Queensborough Plaza, which is in Queens. It's a common transfer point between the "7" and "N" lines, which serve different parts of Queens. Queensborough Plaza itself is in the midst of a highly Greek ethnic community near Astoria, Queens, thus the likelihood that there might be gyro stand in the vicinity.

Incidentally, there really is no gyro stand on the Subway platform at Queensborough Plaza.
