Question

Fans discuss the location of a pier scene in Seinfeld where Jerry and George interact with birds, questioning whether it was actually filmed on the West Coast despite the show's New York setting.

This mash up of Seinfeld NYC locations is interesting,

but does anyone know the location of the pier, where Jerry and George ponder their romantic lives, then run off shooing off away a flock of birds? It doesn't look like a West Coast location.

Since the series was filmed in LA I think it has to be a west coast pier masquerading as an east coast one.

I found the "geography page" too superficial, not Seinfeld-Trivia-worthy So many more interesting locations they could add..

JFK airport The Van Wyck Central Park baseball diamond Brentano Bookstore PO restaurant Park Plaza Hotel Friar's Club Bleeker Bob's and on and on...

The nexus of the Universe 1st Ave and 1st St. is incorrect on the map and that should be a slam-dunk

His trivia question: "Who visited Jerry from Lansing Michigan?" - He means Laura, who Jerry met when he was doing a show in Lansing but we don't know if that is where she "came from". We know she taught Political Science so maybe she taught at Michigan State-Lansing but there is no evidence of that.

Maybe they kicked everybody off the Santa Monica pier and filmed early in the morning.

Here's Sony's take, not much better:

What I'd like to know is, did they use the same clip of the other lovers/couples/parents with kids in both clips? It looked like it to me.
