Located in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan, St. Luke's Place (a portion of Leroy St.) is a quaint and often photographed block.

Featuring brick and brownstone row houses and antique mayoral lampposts, St. Luke's Place has had many famous residents throughout the years. Edgar Allan Poe used to frequent Walk Park (across the street) in the 1830's, and it was also featured in the film Raging Bull.

The home of the Huxtables' (at least the exterior shots used) in The Cosby Show is 10 St. Luke's Place.

cheers beacon hill

Originally called the Bull and Finch Pub, this bar's exterior served as the establishing shots for the sitcom Cheers. When the owner of the Bull and Finch, Thomas Kershaw, was asked for shooting permission by the production company, he charged them $1.

In 2002, the bar changed it's name to Cheers Beacon Hill (named for the Beacon Hill neighborhood). There's another Cheers location (Faneuil Hall) in Boston that has a replica bar, and together the two restaurants pull in millions a year selling Cheers gear.
