86th Street is a major two-way street in the Upper East Side and Upper West Side of the New York City borough of Manhattan.

 Sesame Street - Muppet Wiki - A Wikia wiki
Sesame Street is an educational television program designed for preschoolers, and is recognized as a pioneer of the contemporary standard which combines education and entertainment in children's television shows.
To maintain the realism of the street, the Muppets were kept seperate; thus, Bert and Ernie, while they lived on the street, resided in a basement apartment.
Based on these results, and despite concerns from advising psychologists, that the inner-city street overlooked the real problems of the ghetto and needed firmer roots, the mixture of reality and fantasy was deepened, as Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch became permanent street residents, interacting with the human adults.

 Reinventing East 86th Street - February 28, 2006 - The New York Sun
The sites in question, occupying the southeast corners of 86th Street and Lexington Avenue and 86th Street and Third Avenue, are so prominent that I thought no community board would allow a developer to tamper with them.
Whether they have high-rises, midlevel buildings, or row houses, all of the other major cross streets in Manhattan enjoy a fundamental self-consistency that is denied to East 86th Street.
Add to this that, however many residential buildings might exist on 86th Street, at ground level it is a steady catenary of mismatched boutiques and large electronics stores competing with street vendors, cheap restaurants, and banks.

The RKO Proctor's 58th Street was similarly equipped with two entrances and marquees, the main one on Third Avenue and the other around the corner on 58th Street.
Riding by the 86th street façade either in a bus or a car, we looked out and saw the marquee being dismantled but there was apparently a movie still showing because patrons were buying tickets and going inside.

The Renaissance Revival-style, rental building has two very imposing and large arched entrances on 86th Street that lead to a very large, landscaped courtyard with a large and handsome fountain.
When exploded to the modest mid-rise height of 12 to 15 stories in New York, however, these observers have bemoaned the benefits of such courtyards, arguing that the walls are so high that the "light and air" are limited.
The Belnord is the largest of these and its scale is such that one must imagine that its courtyard had to be considered one of the great urban wonders in its early years just as John Portman's atrium hotels of the 1970's were the commercial bedazzlements of American architecture.
