A good read.
I didn't realise that Tom's Diner is Monk's Cafe from Seinfeld.
Also, just had a look at it on gmaps; got a kick out of seeing Penske trucks around it.

- oceanghost 7y agoI am an idiot, I skimmed the article, and thought it was about Tom Waits Nighthawks at the Diner (which is also a painting).
- greenyoda 7y agoI used to live around the corner from Tom's Restaurant in the 1980s (it's just south of Columbia University), but I think I only ate there once. When I saw it later on Seinfeld it looked very familiar, but it took me a while to convince myself that it was actually the restaurant from my old neighborhood.
