[edit] Plot
Jerry hires a maid whom he then starts sleeping with. Elaine discovers she has 57 messages on her answering machine when Kramer attempts to send her a fax. George tries to get a nickname (T-Bone) but a co-worker gets the one he chose instead. The episode also featured the New York area code 646. When the 212 area code ran out of numbers, 646 was created. Elaine repeatedly gets a piercing high beep in her phone after Kramer signs up to a mail-order menu program called "Now We're Cookin'". Elaine then gets a new number with the 646 area code. She is not happy with the new number because she believes the area code makes it too long to dial. She is proved correct when attempting to give her number to a man in the park. Initially eager, he reads the number, asks "Is that in Jersey?", before making an excuse and walking off. But when an old woman named Mrs. Krantz dies, Elaine manages to get her old 212 number. Mrs. Krantz's grandson Bobby keeps calling Elaine's apartment, ignorant of the fact that his grandmother is dead, and that Elaine has her number.
[edit] Trivia
- This episode is geographically accurate. When Kramer is lost downtown, he explains to Jerry that he is on the corner of “1st and 1st. The Nexus of the Universe.” He continues to tell Jerry that all he sees is an [1]Original Ray’s Pizza place. If you look East on the corner of 1st Avenue and 1st Street in Manhattan, you will see an Original Ray’s Pizza located on Houston Street.
- There is a bar located on the corner of 1st Avenue & 1st Street called "The Nexus Lounge" which is named after Kramer's observation of the intersecting streets.
