Bleecker Street 

This is where it all started:

The Sanctum Sanctorum: wiki --

The Sanctum Sanctorum is a fictional building appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, as the residence and headquarters of Doctor Strange. Created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, the building first appeared in Strange Tales #110 (July 1963). It is located at 177A Bleecker Street in New York City's Greenwich Village neighborhood.

This is a reference to the address of an apartment once shared by writers Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich. 

Bleecker Street, Manhattan Island, NYC, wiki

Bleecker Street is an east–west street in the New York City borough of Manhattan. It is most famous today as a Greenwich Village nightclub district. The street connects a neighborhood today popular for music venues and comedy, but which was once a major center for American bohemia. The street is named after the family name of Anthony Lispenard Bleecker, a banker, the father of Anthony Bleecker, a 19th-century writer, through whose family farm the street ran.
