from the cosby show posted in television by elvis_crabs
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.

from do the right thing, public enemy posted in movies by nevereatshreddedwheat
Both Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing and the video for Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" that he directed were both filmed on Stuyvesant Avenue between Lexington and Quincy in Brooklyn's Bed-Stuy neighborhood. Sal's Pizzeria and the Korean grocery were both sets built for the movie.
The "Bed-Stuy Do or Die" mural that was painted for the movie on the corner of Stuyvesant and Lexington Avenues is almost entirely faded and mostly obstructed by a newer building.
"Fight the Power" was written by Public Enemy for the movie and was originally on the Do the Right Thing soundtrack.
