Comedian Jerry Seinfeld played a version of himself and his buddies were George (Jason Alexander), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and Kramer (Michael Richards). Most of the scenes are set in Jerry’s Manhattan apartment or Monk’s Café, where the friends hang out. If there really is a ‘New York kind of humor’, the Seinfeld show is a great example. Friends ran for ten seasons from 1994, becoming an international success. The show made household names of its ensemble cast. This New York TV show also had a regular meeting place for the characters. The Central Perk coffee house is set in Greenwich Village and took its name from Central Park.
