As my lil bro refers to it! also known as Sex and the City.
Today we took my favourite New York Tour of my favourite TV ladies.
The Sex and the City tour departs from the classic Plaza Hotel on 58th and 5th Ave coincidentally the opening credits for the show were filmed on 5th ave right across from the bus pick up zone coincidence?? I just don't know.
Although I was sporting my first cold in NYC I refused to let it rain on my parade, we also had a paid tour guide so I could take it easy for the day.
I recommend a bus tour for those visiting the NY with a short period of time because it is the best way to capture all of the districts and get a real feel for the layout of the city. You may also get yourself a celebrity sighting if your lucky!
The SATC tour shows you all the filming locations from the series and some of the movies in New York and you even get to leave the bus to explore some them.
The first is an adult toy store from one of the earlier episodes featuring "the Rabbit" I'll let your mind wander on that one.

When Carrie tells Miranda about her new crush
I couldnt find a clip that was clear enough so I will quote.
Carrie: I think I have crush
Miranda: Yeah
Carrie: Yep
Miranda: Good, you haven't had a real crush since Big
Carrie: Big wasn't a crush he was a crash.
(pause) to eat cupcake
Carrie: His name is Aiden and I believe him to be very cute
JBomb: So do I!

I also showed the girls my major stalking ability. The last time I took the tour with my Mum we were strolling through the West Village and a man asked if we were on the tour and I said yes and he pointed out Sarah Jessica Parkers apartment I was beside myself! It was also confirmed by the tour guide because they have spotted her during the tour on more than one occasion!
After a long day of eating cupcakes and stalking filming locations we needed a drink
what better place to stop than the set of Steve & Aidens bar, Scout.
Onieal's Grand Street Bar & Restaurant
174 Grand Street (between Baxter St & Centre Market Pl)

My drinking skills are lagging..
