Seinfeld was filmed at CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles, featuring 1,380 sets over nine seasons. Key sets included Jerry Seinfeld's Upper West Side apartment and Monk's Café. The production faced challenges, such as creating a parking garage on a soundstage due to complications with location shooting. Jerry's apartment set required three replacements for the door used during Kramer's entrances. Monk's Café represented a classic New York City diner experience, enhancing the show’s urban charm and character interplay.
We shot sets, struck sets, you couldn't move in here there were so many sets. We had so many sets that the stage wasn't big enough—we had to move to the biggest stage on the lot.
The beloved Seinfeld episode involving the gang—locked in a multilevel parking garage made for a serious production conundrum. There were conversations about filming on-location, but sound and lighting made the process too tricky.
Jerry Seinfeld's Upper West Side apartment, with its well-worn navy blue couch and white-and-blue door, needed to be replaced three times due to the sheer force of Kramer's entrances.
Monk's Café, a quintessential old-school New York City diner, complete with comfy brown booths, perfect for kvetching about low-talking girlfriends and coma etiquette.
