Last week, I went on a Sex & the City tour of New York City which highlighted many of the top spots in Sex & the City. In just three hours on an air-conditioned bus, our tour guide, Katie, showed us many of the locations where filming is done for Sex & The City. Stops included Tao where the girls drink and flirt; the Church Around the Corner; O'Neal's Speakeasy where scenes from Scout are taped; and the gallery where Charlotte worked. In addition, Katie pointed out the New York Sports Club where Miranda works out; the area in the West Village where Sarah Jessica Parker lives with Matthew Broderick; Tiffany's, where Charlotte's engagement ring came from and a number of other places along the way.
Katie donned a bright pink boa (which made finding her easy where the tour meets on 59th Street) and was both friendly and knowledgeable. She shared lots of show- and star-related trivia, including the fact that Matthew Broderick turned down the part of Alex P. Keaton on Family Ties. She also had assorted Sex & The City Souvenirs for sale, including horseshoe necklaces, t-shirts and nipple enhancers. If you're interested in taking the tour on your next visit, it's $35 per person (plus a $2 ticket fee) for the 3-hour tour and it even includes a cupcake at Magnolia. You can get 20% off with the New York Pass and the Entertainment Book features a buy one, get one free coupon for the tour. You can register for the Sex & The City Tour on Viator.
