While the rest of us have been sitting on our butts, top researchers have been working and may have cracked one of the pressing mysteries of our time.

"Can you tell me how to get to "Sesame Street"?

It's undoubtedly one of life's greatest questions. For years, we've asked how to get to "Sesame Street" while singing the theme song, but the location has always remained a mystery ... until now.


Throughout the "Sesame Street" series, savvy viewers have picked up on subtle clues to the areas where the street could reside. It's always been suspected that "Sesame Street" is in New York City (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/SesameStreet), but through clues like zip codes and subway stations, you can theoretically figure out the real neighborhoods that could be home to the street.

Rest assured that researchers will not stop their unending effort to break the Sesame Street code. :salute:


Grinch, you can hide for only so long. We will find you. :stare:

What happens on Sesame Street stays on Sesame Street.... well for about 40 years at least.

Nope it's about the 'animal' in each of us and banging the drum (sometimes not slowly):D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8aGlOj2VFo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8aGlOj2VFo)
