It's probably been mentioned here before, but Jerry's father was somewhat friendly with Carlo Gambino. They were once neighbors on Ocean Parkway. I think that's where Jerry's Godfather fixation probably comes from.
That's where Jerry was born. I believe that his parents were Syrian Jews who lived on Ocean Parkway, but they moved to Long Island when Jerry Sienfeld was still a young boy.
Larry David grew up in my co-op. He is four years older than me so I didn't know him well, but from what I remember of him as kid - he was just average (like most of us).
