Surprising Stories from the Set of I Love Lucy

The Ricardos’ apartment address was given as 623 East 68th Street, placing Lucy and Ricky in Manhattan’s Upper East Side. However, there’s a fun geographic problem with that location. In real life, East 68th Street only goes up to 600.

That means apartment number 623 would technically land somewhere in the East River. The address was entirely fictional, but it added realism to the show without anyone expecting viewers to check a map. It’s a small detail that makes the world of I Love Lucy even more charming.
