Tom's Restaurant, the location made famous as Monk's Cafe on Seinfeld, is still attracting crowds of fans from its heyday in the 90s. Only used for exteriors on the TV show, Tom's is still incredibly familiar and fits nicely into a pop culture walking tour of New York City.

Ellis Island Museum in New York & New Jersey
Located in New York Harbor, Ellis Island was once the busiest immigration and processing station in the United States of America. Within view of the Statue of Liberty, from 1892 to 1954 more than 12 million immigrants were processed at Ellis Island as they arrived at the Port of New York and New Jersey. It's believed as many as 2/5 of the American population may be descended from the immigrants that passed through Ellis Island.

Plaza Hotel in New York City
Welcome to the iconic Plaza Hotel in New York City.
"Howdya do, this is Peter McCallister. The faaaaaaather."
With my Talkboy, two turtle doves, and my vintage collector's cards in hand, I made my way to the Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
I didn't run into any former presidents in the lobby, but I was honored to be in the company of guests of the new Celebrity Ding Dang Dong. The rest of my family was in Florida while I watched "Angels With Even Filthier Souls" and ran up the in-suite ice cream tab. I didn't come all the way to New York to get my naked rear end spied on though.
Are all these Home Alone 2 references landing? Because as far as travel shoots go, this was actually a dream come true.
