The large corporate entity that produces the "Sesame Street" TV show, related media, and other products. Not open to the public except on special occasions, but I got a personal tour under sponsorship of a staff member.

I got the impression of a great place to work, including the most cheerful and colorful financial accounting offices I have ever seen. Great staff morale, with good staff autonomy and support for creative and imaginative ideas.

Lots of displays of Sesame Street history and memorabilia. Video displays of choice moments and well-known characters. Each conference room is named after a character, such as "The Count", near the accounting area.

Location is on newly-renamed Sesame Street, a segment of W63rd St right across from bustling Lincoln Center, with a nice open-air landscaped roof deck around the 8th floor level.
