The Upper West Side Now Has an Actual Sesame Street

Won’t you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street? Get off the 1 train at 66th Street and take a left. All right, all right, we know that joke is corny and was already used by this commenter, but it’s frankly too obvious to pass up. Today is the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street and the city hung a temporary street sign for 123 Sesame Street on a pole at 64th and Broadway and declared today Sesame Street Day.

“Sesame Street reaches children around the world, but without a doubt, New York City is its home,” said Joan Ganz Cooney, President & CEO of the Sesame Workshop. All hail Big Bird!
