Chemical Bank!

"The bank? It burned. It's gone!  Now what you wanna do is go down to 49th Street, that's the main customer service branch. Ask for Mr. Fleming, he'll help you."

Yeah. 

Damn! It was on the tip of my tongue

Well done. The bonus ones Elaine suggested are "Good Vertebrations" and "BACK in business"

George parks in a cheap parking lot, and one day finds a condom in his car.  What is the name of the parking lot, and what does the attendant try to give George as consolation for finding said condom?

Jiffy Park is definitely the name of the lot, and I wanna say that he tries to give George a t-shirt as a consolation? I think I'm wrong about that. But later Kramer is wearing one when he can't get to his car either so maybe..

No you got it!  The guy offers George the shirts, to which Kramer lunges for immediately.

Oh nice!

Here's a related-question: Where does that attendant show up a second time? And what does he give Kramer a hard time about?

What was the name of the company that George says has the best bathroom in midtown?

The Met. Magnificent facilities!

Wrong! (Well, maybe. That address might be midtown, I don't know. But George actually specifically says what the "best bathroom in midtown" is, and the name of the company where that bathroom resides is what I'm looking for ).

I'm either thinking of the wrong episode or he mentions The Met in the same scene that you're talking about in addition to the best bathroom in midtown.

On a side-bar, in the reunion that took place during season 7 of Curb Your Enthuisasm, George had become rich by creating an app called the iToilet...that locates the nearest bathroom. That'd actually be a great idea! Someone should seek Larry David's permission and create it. 

You are thinking of the wrong episode.

Yes, that is a great idea for an app - I'd actually pay for it!

Just bumping this - still looking for the answer.

No looking for answers from me. Either I know it or I don't...and I can't remember this one.

Give one. No problems there. Just don’t look up answers you don’t know. Honor system. Then again, it’s not a lie if you believe it.

Perfect hint! I first thought of Jerry and Kramer's falling out over Kramer abusing the privilege of having Jerry's apartment keys, but that had nothing to do with bathrooms. But the time Kramer works for Brandt-Leyland and it jeopardizes his and Jerry's "marriage," George does accompany Kramer to Brandt-Leyland, and Kramer does use the bathroom. So although I don't recall George talking up the bathrooms at Brandt-Leyland, I'm going to go with that because there's where your hint led me.

That is correct.

What happens is the show begins with George, Kramer, and Jerry walking into Brandt-Leland, with George declaring that the place has the best bathroom in midtown. That is why Kramer used the washroom there - he had to go and George took him there, lol. Then when Kramer came out of the washroom, he got swept into a staff meeting and decided to just join the team.... I don't quite recall what happened to Jerry and George though. They must have left the building without Kramer at that point, but I can't remember what made them leave without him.

I think George was about to use his widower story on the receptionist, but he didn't think it would work and then he and Jerry just leave. Later though, George comes back with a picture of Man-Hands, and gets let into the forbidden city.
