Sesame Street (fictional location)

Sesame Street is a fictional street located in Manhattan (a borough in New York City). The street serves as the location for the American children's television series, Sesame Street, which is centered around 123 Sesame Street, a fictional brownstone building.

The fictional Sesame Street is set to represent a neighborhood of New York City. The specific neighborhood that it is supposed to represent is disagreed upon. Art director Victor DiNapoli has stated that it is supposed to be located on the Upper West Side. Sesame Street's founder, Joan Ganz Cooney, stated in 1994 that she originally wanted to call the show 123 Avenue B, after the Alphabet City area of the Lower East Side and East Village.

The opposite side of Sesame Street is not part of the set, though there are some rare occasions of seeing the other side from another location. The opposite side of Sesame Street would often be seen in the Sesame Street movies.

Sesame Street primarily revolves around a brownstone-type row house called 123 Sesame Street. The house is a three-story building with a daylight basement, totaling three known apartments.

The building was meant to appear typical of New York neighborhood brownstones, being described as a "survivor of gentrification" by art director Victor DiNapoli.

Oscar the Grouch's Trash Can sits in front of a fence made of salvaged doors and is where Oscar the Grouch lives. Oscar the Grouch's Trash Can is deeper than anyone suspects. In the first episode, Gordon mentioned that the trash can had three and a half bedrooms. The seemingly bottomless domain houses a variety of diverse Grouch amenities and luxuries. Oscar's girlfriend Grundgetta is his most recurring visitor to his Trash Can. In "Sesame Street Visits the Firehouse", Gordon mentioned that in Oscar's Trash Can lived, "Two elephants, a puppy, a rhino, a goat and a worm." The only time when the interior of Oscar's Trash Can was explored as a setting was in the 1999 film The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland, when Elmo impatiently enters the trash can in search of his blanket. In Season 46, as part of the set redesign, his trash can was moved to the other end of the front of 123 Sesame Street, along with a recycling center and a compost bin.
