Big Bird at the subway entrance
Subway interior as seen in Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.
The exterior of a subway station was part of the block of Around the Corner sets on Sesame Street from Season 25 to Season 29.
Currently, the subway station facade is located at the far end of Sesame Street, beyond the Mail-It Shop. It can be seen during Grover's journey down the street in the opening moments of The Street We Live On.
The sign over the subway station's entrance indicates that it is a stop for the 1, 2, A and B trains. While it is commonly held that Sesame Street is located in an unspecified outer borough of New York City, the only borough through which the 1, 2, A and B trains pass is Manhattan. Although there is currently no subway station at which these four lines stop, all of them pass through the Columbus Circle station at the 59th Street and Broadway.
In the special Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, the cast rides the subway from a skating rink back to Sesame Street, getting off at the 86th Street station. There are three 86th Street stations in New York City: two on the Upper West Side of Manhattan (a 1 stop and a B/C stop) and one in Brooklyn (an R stop).
In the studio, the subway station facade is over the actual exit door that leads to the dressing rooms and offices.
