Where Was Sex And The City Filmed Exclusive Vip Pass
Ever Wondered Where Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda Hanged Their Hats?
Alright, let's dive into the fabulous world of Sex and the City, shall we? You know, that iconic show that had us laughing, crying, and swooning over cosmopolitans. But have you ever found yourself wondering, where was Sex and the City filmed? Well, grab your Manolos, because we're about to take a stroll through the real-life locations that brought our favorite New York girls to life.
Welcome to the Big Apple
First things first, Sex and the City was primarily filmed in New York City, the city that never sleeps and never disappoints. Now, you might be thinking, "But wait, I've seen the opening credits! Those iconic shots of the city skyline, the yellow cabs, the bustling streets..." And you're right! Those were indeed filmed in NYC. But the actual scenes? Well, that's where things get a little more interesting.
You see, while the show was set in the heart of Manhattan, not all scenes were filmed there. Some were shot in Los Angeles, California. I know, I know, it's a shocker! But don't worry, the LA scenes were mostly interiors, so you won't be seeing any palm trees in the background. Now, let's get back to the city that never sleeps.

Carrie's Love Nest
Alright, let's start with the one and only, Carrie Bradshaw. Her iconic apartment, where she wrote her columns and had countless heart-to-hearts with her girlfriends, was actually located in Greenwich Village. More specifically, at 66 Perry Street, Apartment 2B. Isn't that just the most New York address you've ever heard?
Now, I'm sure you're dying to know, was Carrie's apartment real? Well, sort of. The apartment was a set built in a studio in Los Angeles. But the exterior shots? Those were indeed filmed at 66 Perry Street. So, if you ever find yourself in the neighborhood, be sure to stop by and pay your respects. Just don't expect to see any pink cowboy hats through the window.

The Girls' Favorite Watering Hole
Remember the girls' go-to spot for drinks and gossip? That's right, Magnolia Bakery. But here's a fun fact for you: while the show popularized the bakery, it wasn't actually the one they filmed at. The real-life location is at West 11th Street, but the scenes were shot at a Los Angeles bakery that was dressed to look like Magnolia.
Now, I know what you're thinking, "But what about the iconic cupcakes? Did they really eat those?" Well, according to the cast, they did indeed indulge in some real treats. But let's be honest, after all those cosmopolitans, I'm sure they could handle a few cupcakes.

And the Rest...
Alright, so we've covered Carrie's apartment and the girls' favorite bakery. But what about the rest of the locations? Well, here are a few more for you to check out:
