Rememberence of TV Shows Past

Countless TV programs have taken place in NYC.  Below are a few programs you might have watched and some real life locations.

Seinfeld
Although it was supposed to take place in NYC, Seinfeld was filmed in LA.  Probably the most recognizable place from Seinfeld is Monk's dinner which is really called Tom's Restaurant and is located at 112th and Broadway. Map



Friends
While there is no Central Perk coffee shop, there is a real Greenwich Village and it's definitely worth a stop on your trip to NYC.  The fountain they danced in is located in Washington Square Park.  Map


Sex & the City
Unlike most TV shows which take place in NY, this was actually filmed in NY.  Locations from the show are all over the place.  Apparently there is even a sex & the city tour....

Late Night with Conan O'Brien
Before he met his untimely end on NBC in Los Angeles, Conan O'Brien filmed his Late Night program in NYC for 13 years.  Take an NBC Studio Tour to see Conan's former studio, now home to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Paley Center for Media
Formerly the Museum for TV and Radio, "The Paley Center's permanent media collection contains nearly 150,000 television and radio programs and advertisements, available both in New York and Los Angeles."
