Sesame Street, New York, New York
- Sesame Street, New York, New York
Sesame Street, New York, New York is the fictional neighborhood and street where the American children's television series "Sesame Street" takes place. The neighborhood, which centers on the street, was originally rather downtrodden and slightly dirty. However, since 1969, it has undergone constant urban renewal.
The area is rather attractive for small businesses. Generally, operations in the Sesame Street neighborhood have long life spans, and when a business goes out of the area, the replacement generally is run by the same proprietors. However, despite an economy more stable and reliant than most of the United States, the area has never flourished beyond that point. The loyal customer base is relatively familiar to the stores, as Sesame Street is filled with rather low-density housing for such an urban center, and is evidently rather hidden or out-of-the-way from residents of the rest of the city.
The neighborhood includes a station of the New York City Subway system.
No definitive map of the area appears in print. Thus, illustrators of books set on Sesame Street sometimes make errors in its local geography; on occasion, accurate representations are painted by artists working on location, in the open air.
David Dinkins was the mayor of New York City in the Sesame Street universe, as of 1992.
