Best Show Tour
« on: December 11, 2009, 10:07:10 AM »
Hey FOTs

I am visiting New York over the holidays and thought it might be cool to do a Best Show Tour of New Jersey - like one of those "The Real Kramer Tours of NY" things.

What would some of the key destinations be on a tour like this?

For me, it's all about identifying the regional references that go over my head. I'd like to see the Colgate Tower Tom threatened to impale a caller's body on, or visit Mike's grocery store from The Wrestler.

Tips and google map links would be wonderful.

I've thought about doing this too. The only other things I could come up with are:

Maxwell's
The Best Buy that's the scene of so many of Tom's adventures
