Goofs

When the waiter comes over and Elaine and the Maestro set their wine glasses down, the wine is still in the next shot. Then, the distance between the glasses keeps changing without anyone touching them.

When Jerry asks Mr. Ciccio if there are any houses to rent, Ciccio has just exhaled a large puff of cigar smoke. In the next shot, the air is clear.

Notice when George is asking the security guard about having a chair. If you look in the background you'll see the same guy walk by twice from the right to the left.
