Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Parking in New York proves a pitfall yet again for Jerry Seinfeld
Elizabeth Clark Zoia, Seinfeld’s spokeswoman, said that his driver became concerned for his safety when they were met by a crowd of fans outside the TV studio so he placed the permit in the car window so he could escort the comedian inside. She said Seinfeld felt that his driver was just trying to help him and so will not be dismissed. She promised that the parking placard would not be used again.
