NYC subway train to get 'Seinfeld' makeover for Subway Series (PHOTOS)

If you find yourself saying yada yada yada and craving marble rye during your commute on NYC's  No. 7 subway line the next month, you won't be alone.

A train on the Flushing line is getting a "Seinfeld" makeover as Monk's Cafe leading up to the  annual Subway Series which starts on Monday.

The total train takeover begins May 12, when straphangers will step into "Seinfeld's" favorite eatery on the subway tracks, according to the New York Daily News.



The train's new internal and external look is timed to debut during the first Mets-Yankees matchup of the season and as a promotion for the show's syndication on local television station PIX11 — which also broadcasts Mets games at Citi Field.

And what's more New York than the iconic sit-com.



As commuters and baseball fans head to Citi Field on the red, tufted seats, they can pretend to be Jerry, Kramer, George, or Elaine at their favorite restaurant booth and complain about nothing.

Go ahead. Nobody'll notice.

"For an entire month, a New York City subway will become the 'Seinfeld 11 Train' in honor of our ongoing commitment to this hilarious show and WPIX," Sheraton Kalouria, chief marketing officer for Sony Pictures Television, said in a statement to the Daily News.

And not that there's anything wrong with that.
