The exterior of Tom's Restaurant on the corner of West 112th Street and Broadway in Morningside Heights in Manhattan was used for the establishing shots of the fictional Monk's Cafe in Seinfeld. Interiors were filmed on a sound stage.

The restaurant was also the inspiration for Suzanne Vega's 'Tom's Diner' and now that song will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. You're welcome.
