Sex and the City 2: A Movie Locations Treasure Hunt

Alright, so you've binge-watched Sex and the City for the thousandth time, and now you're craving a little bit of that cosmopolitan magic in your own life. Well, guess what? You don't need a Mr. Big or a Manolo Blahnik budget to experience it. All you need is a trusty internet connection and a sense of adventure. Because, my friend, we're going on a movie locations treasure hunt!

First Stop: The Iconic Brownstone

Let's kick things off with the girls' home sweet home, the brownstone on Perry Street. Now, I know what you're thinking, "But I don't live in a multi-million dollar Manhattan townhouse!" Neither do I, but that doesn't mean we can't pretend. So, grab your laptop, pull up Google Maps, and take a virtual stroll down Perry Street. While you're at it, why not treat yourself to a cosmopolitan? Just don't blame me if you end up with a sugar crash and a hangover.

Fun fact: The exterior shots of the brownstone were actually filmed at a townhouse on 66 Perry Street, but the interior scenes were shot on a soundstage. So, while you can't pop in for a chat with Carrie, you can still admire the exterior from afar. Just don't try to scale the fence like Samantha did. Trust me, the neighbors won't appreciate it.

Carrie's Closet: A Shrine to Fashion

Next up, let's pay a visit to Carrie's closet. Now, I'm not saying you should clear out your entire wardrobe and start collecting designer shoes (although, if you've got the budget, who am I to judge?), but you can certainly appreciate the artistry that went into creating her iconic space.

The closet was actually a set built on a soundstage, but the exterior of the building used for the famous "Big mistake. Big. Huge." scene is located at 173 W 71st Street. It's a beautiful brownstone, but don't go knocking on the door expecting to find Carrie's collection of Manolos. The current residents probably won't appreciate the intrusion.

Lunch at the Plaza: A Girl's Gotta Eat

By now, you're probably feeling a bit peckish. So, why not grab a bite to eat at the Plaza Hotel, where the girls enjoyed many a meal and schemed many a plot? The Palm Court, where they dined in the movie, is a beautiful space with a stunning stained-glass ceiling. It's the perfect place to indulge in some afternoon tea (and maybe a few too many scones).

Just remember, this isn't a place for a casual bite. The Plaza is all about elegance and sophistication. So, leave your yoga pants at home and dress to impress. After all, you never know who you might run into. (Spoiler alert: It probably won't be Mr. Big.)

Sex and the City 2: The Abu Dhabi Adventure

Alright, so you've had your fun in New York. But what about that crazy adventure in Abu Dhabi? Unfortunately, you can't exactly hop on a plane and join the girls for a desert adventure (trust me, I've tried). But you can still appreciate the stunning locations they visited.

The luxurious hotel where the girls stayed was the Emirates Palace Hotel. It's the second most expensive hotel ever built, so unless you've got a serious trust fund, you might want to stick to admiring it from afar. The same goes for the stunning Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, which was used as a location in the film. It's a breathtaking sight, but remember to dress modestly and follow the rules if you decide to visit.

Back to Reality: Your Own Sex and the City Adventure

So, there you have it. A whirlwind tour of some of the most iconic locations from Sex and the City. And the best part? You didn't even have to leave your couch. But if you're feeling inspired, why not plan your own real-life adventure? Grab your girlfriends, hit the town, and make some memories of your own. Just remember to keep it classy (and maybe avoid any desert adventures that involve stolen yachts).

And who knows? Maybe one day, you'll look back on your own Sex and the City-inspired escapades and say, "I couldn't help but wonder... was that a big mistake? A big, huge mistake?" (Spoiler alert: It probably wasn't.)
