Seinfeld Filming Locations in New York, NY - Season One

On July 5th, 1989 NBC debuted a new pilot called The Seinfeld Chronicles. It starred NYC comedian Jerry Seinfeld and focused on his stand up and those everyday conversations and situations that make up modern life.

30 years later, the show that became known across the world as Seinfeld did more than net NBC an incredible amount of money, it helped change television forever.

Known as “The Show About Nothing,”Seinfeld was anything but: it was about love, friendship, family, work, all the things that most New Yorker’s could live without most of the time.

While the interiors were shot mostly in California, Seinfeld is still the quintessential NYC show and used stock footage of NYC for exterior locations. The topics of conversations and the situations these four self-absorbed, needy and iconic characters go through are timeless.

In celebration of the show’s 30th anniversary, we’ll present the New York locations of each episode and season of Seinfeld, starting from Season One.
