When this episode aired, Bob Einstein was the first comedians to appear twice on the series—so, to celebrate, in the season nine finale Seinfeld (apparently) gives him a car!

THE BUTCHER'S DAUGHTER, N.Y.C.

THE MONKEY BAR, N.Y.C.

Seinfeld and Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels sip coffee under dim lighting at this storied Manhattan restaurant, which seems the perfect spot for Michaels to dish on the show's long history. Seinfeld's leafy green salad is so large, you hope it's not uncouth to ask for a doggy bag.

10 SPEED COFFEE, CALABASAS, CA

JB Smoove's dreams come true when Seinfeld picks him up in a 1964 Studebaker Avanti. The coffee shop they go to may be a dream factory, too. It serves up coffee so de-lish Seinfeld declares: "Man, that's good."
