When I was a kid (1960 - '66) my mom would take me down to our dentist. We'd get off at the AA/now C train 72nd St Station entrance that faced Central Park on it's Western side.

We'd turn the corner on to 72nd St and walk right past The Dakota's entrance till we nearly got to Broadway. I think the reason it didn't totally freak me out was because it was fairly long ago at that point - 15 yrs with a whole lot of vivid life packed into the years in between.
