ITINERARY: DAY FOUR



Sue Ellen Mischke



It’s hard to believe that my Dad and I have been in NYC for three days and have not hit Fifth Ave. for some shopping yet! After a relaxing breakfast, my Dad and I will walk to Fifth Ave. (no cabs necessary for this short distance) and shop the streets aligned with stores that only Sue Ellen Mischke could properly afford (Seinfeld character, heiress to the O’Henry! candy bar fortune).

We’ll be sure to stop in at Barney’s and complain about the “skinny mirrors” they have installed there. Elaine once threatened a sales clerk at Barneys that she would report the store to the “department of whatever” for “false reflecting”.



Jerry in his "puffy shirt"



After shopping and grabbing a bite to eat, we’ll walk the short distance to 30 Rockefeller Plaza, aka 30 Rock, the NBC Studios. This building obviously has a huge significance in Seinfeld. It’s the sitcom’s production studio. Jerry and George went to NBC to launch their sitcom, a show about nothing, called Jerry. The President of NBC, Russell Dalrymple, fell in love with Elaine. George became engaged to a former-NBC executive, Susan Ross. And of course, who can forget when Jerry was forced to wear the Puffy Shirt on the Today Show, at NBC.



30 Rock



My Dad and I will take two tours once there: the NBC Studios tour and the Top of the Rock Observation Deck tour. The NBC Studios tour will take us backstage of some of the studio’s most popular shows, while the Top of the Rock tour offers a beautiful view of Central Park and the surrounding concrete jungle of Manhattan.

After our tours, and our feet are heavy and arms are tired from the weight of our shopping bags, we’ll have a nice dinner at Brasserie Ruhlmann, a beautiful dining experience within the Plaza.
