Finally, fans of Sesame Street can find the place on a map. To celebrate the iconic children’s show’s 50th anniversary, New York City has renamed the intersection of West 63rd and Broadway as Sesame Street, where Sesame Workshop, which produces the show, is based since 1969.
At the dedication ceremony, Mayor Bill de Blasio said, “The show made a choice long before more of the media had done it to show all of us, to represent all the people that make up our society, to show black and brown faces, young and old, male and female, and everyone on an equal footing.”
