Little Rock, ARKANSAS (map)
George pretends he is a visitor from Little Rock to go out with Mary Anne, working for Tyler Chicken and owning a three-legged dog, Willy. He is infamously relieved of duty by the Yankees when “traded” to Tyler Chicken in exchange for all-chicken concessions at Yankee Stadium.

Top Of The Muffin To You! (NOT REAL)
511 Amsterdam Ave., New York, NEW YORK (map)
nearest subway: 86th Street (1)
Mr. Lippman turns Elaine’s idea for a muffin-top-only retailer to life, and cuts her in for half the profits in exchange for revealing her secret to baking the perfect muffin top. Thanks to eagle-eyed fan Bilita Mpash for catching the lighting store through the door across the street, which was located at 510 Amsterdam Ave. (and is now Kitaro Sushi), putting the muffin shop at around 511 Amsterdam.

Producers Club Theater
358 W. 44th St., New York, NEW YORK (map)
nearest subway: 42nd Street – Port Authority Bus Terminal (A,C,E)
The former home of The Improv, this is where the “Kramer Reality Tour” begins – it originally started at the John Houseman Theater (450 W. 43rd St.), and provided the inspiration for the “Peterman Reality Tour” featured in this episode.

George’s Apartment
George “moves” into his place again to fool Mary Anne, who thinks he’s being ripped off on rent and that the place smells like the last tenant had monkeys.

W. 85th St. and Columbus Ave., New York, NEW YORK (map)
nearest subway: 86th Street (B,C)
Kramer is seen driving The Peterman Reality Tour bus southbound down Columbus Avenue, crossing West 85th Street, pointing out to his riders that they can see his bedroom window on their right (“it’s the one that’s covered in chicken wire”). This is partially plausible, as the bus would pass West 81st Street, but Kramer’s Apartment is still 300 feet westbound from Columbus, meaning that in a moving bus it may be tricky to catch – although the chicken wire surely helped! Thanks to Bilita Mpash for the catch!
