Observations.

I forgot to mention this last night, but I found the diner that was used on Seinfeld. It's actually called Tom's Restaurant, and the inside looks nothing like Monk's on the show, but the sign is very neon. Also, when crossing a street in New York, you do not stand on the curb, but instead about four feet out while hoping the driver coming toward you doesn't get all twitchy, as you really have only a few inches of space to spare. Oh, there are a lot of dogs and their owners out at 6:45am in the park. Just in case you were curious.
