Fans discuss the location of the fictional cafe from the show, clarifying that Monk's is the fictional name and Tom's Diner is the real New York location that inspired it.

Can some one tell me where is the cafe in New York .I went to NY in august but could not find it. And has anyone meet the real kramer and been on his NY tour. My favourite seinfeld "my panties are all layed out"

The show is filmed in California. Maybe that is why you couldn't find the Cafe. Monk's is the actual name of the cafe.

This is not entirely true. The cafe is called Monks on the show, and is film in California, but the outdoor shots are of Toms Restaurant in N.Y. There have been numerous posts on this before. I cant remeber the exact adress though, but its in here somwhere. And I believe its one of the locations on Kenny Kramers Seinfeld tour.

I don't think so. Monk's is the name of the fictional cafe. Tom's Diner is, I think, the name of the real cafe in NY (somewhere near Columbia, if I remember). This is also the cafe that Suzanne Vega sings about in her song, "Tom's Diner."

Tom's (acutally "Tom's Restaurant", not "Tom's Diner"), is on the corner of Broadway and 112th Street.
