The New York Street area has been used in countless productions over the years. It's been rebuilt after fires in 1957 and 1990, and frequently changes appearance as required by the production work at the time. The two sides of Brownstone Street are very different - one is residential, and one is a business district. Just by turning the camera around, you're in another part of town!
