The exterior shot was a real location.
As far as I know - no legal watch and wager locations currently exist in NYC (other than Aqueduct simulcast),

I visited one once in Manhattan back in mid 90’s and it was exactly how Seinfeld episode depicted it. Grimy and filled with seedy people lol. Anyway I’m super surprised there is not one location available to place a bet. Seems weird. I also remember around that time that Connecticut had their own wagering pools for New York racing which I also thought was weird. There was some races where the pay offs were so far off that it would have lead anyone to believe there was shenanigans going on.
