Jerry's Apartment From Seinfeld Re-created In NYC For Fans To Visit This Week
Ad Week- As it begins streaming all 180 episodes of Seinfeld today, Hulu—which has exclusive SVOD rights to Jerry Seinfeld’s iconic series—is celebrating by re-creating Seinfeld’s apartment for fans in New York. From today through Sunday, Hulu is operating Seinfeld: The Apartment, a pop-up installation in New York’s Meatpacking District. It features original items from the Seinfeld set, including the diner table and booth, the New Jersey Devils jersey worn by Elaine’s then-boyfriend David Puddy (Patrick Warburton) in Season 6’s “The Face Painter,” and the Superman figure Seinfeld kept in his living room. There are also re-creations of iconic props from the show like the Festivus pole and the Pez dispenser.
Seinfeld also donated a canvas brick wall signed by the cast and crew after the show’s finale. Among the scrawled messages: “Jerry — There’s a spot open after Conan — think about it,” from Rick Ludwin, the NBC executive who developed the show and later oversaw late-night programming. Fans can have their photo taken in re-creations of the set for Seinfeld’s stand-up comedy scenes—complete with microphone stand and brick wall—that bookend the show and George’s photo shoot from Season 8’s “The Package.” But the exhibit’s centerpiece is its meticulous re-creation of Seinfeld’s 129 W. 81st St. apartment from the show (the kitchen includes more than 20 cereal boxes).
Look no further folks, we have finally found the whitest thing on the planet! I usually hate the living shit out of Hulu because who likes being forced to turn off Ad Blocker just to watch a video? But this is fantastic. White people will be attracted to this exhibit like a moth to a flame. New Yorkers and tourists alike will instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. And how many times will someone’s “funny, wacky friend” pull a Kramer and burst through the door? I love everything about this knowing full well it is peak caucasity.
Update: Some moron already broke part of the set doing the Kramer entrance.
