notes

This is where Kramer, Jerry and George were naked for the first time. Of course, Kramer was looking. This is also where Jerry and George met Keith Hernandez of the New York Mets, leading to the confusing love triangle between Jerry, Keith and Elaine. The west side YMCA is at 5 West 63rd street between Central Park West and Broadway. The West Side YMCA can be reached at (212)787-1301.
