Can you tell me how to get to Sesame Street?
I have nothing but fond memories of the children show Sesame Street, and I know that it's filmed somewhere in New York. Is there a way to visit the actual set? As part of a guided tour would be ideal, but not necessary.
Best Answer
Sesame Street is filmed at Kaufman-Astoria Studios in Queens. The studio isn't generally open to the public, so unless you know somebody or are involved in a production I wouldn't count on a tour.
However, I'd highly recommend a trip to the nearby Museum of the Moving Image, which houses a number of Sesame Street artifacts, regular Jim Henson/Muppet film screenings, and later this year, will be opening a new permanent gallery space devoted exclusively to the work of Jim Henson, The Muppets, and Sesame Street.
