Later, its exterior was used as a stand-in for the fictional Monk's Café in the 1989–1998 televisionsitcomSeinfeld, where comedianJerry Seinfeld's eponymous character and his friends regularly convened to dine.[1][2] The interior shown on the television show, however, looked very little like the real "Tom's", as indoor scenes were filmed on a set in Los Angeles.[2] Early Seinfeld episodes showed the entire neon sign; later, the "Tom's" portion was cropped out, showing only the "RESTAURANT" wraparound. Even though the interior and exterior have undergone minor remodeling since the show, the distinctive sign has remained the same. Tom's is featured in "Kramer's Reality Tour" conducted by Kenny Kramer.
SenatorJohn McCain often ate at Tom's when he visited his daughter Meghan when she was a student at Columbia.[3] Likewise, Barack Obama frequented the restaurant as a student at Columbia.[4]
Prior to Seinfeld, Tom's exterior had been seen on television in the 1978 The Bionic Woman episode "Long Live the King" at around the 27 minute mark of the DVD release.[citation needed]
