"Sex and the City" Self-Guided Tour of Manhattan
The days are counting down to the U.S. premier of “Sex and the City: The Movie” and New York City is being overrun by fans eager to sample Magnolia Bakery’s famous cupcakes chased by a Cosmo.
There are several tour companies vying for your dollar, ready to load you onto a double-decker bus and cruise the streets of Manhattan, rolling past some of Sex and the City’s hotspots. But if you’re not interested in making reservations, paying big bucks, and getting lost in the crowd, I gathered a list of some of the most memorable filming locations and attached a map for The New York City Traveler’s first self-guided tour.
Following the Sex and the City Self-Guided Tour, you can vi
sit more than 20 locations made world-famous by Sex and the City. Locations include:
- Carrie’s stoop
- Magnolia Bakery
- The church where Samantha attempted to seduce a “Man of God”
- The church where Charlotte and Trey got married
- Where Miranda asked Steve to marry her

It’s funny how shows/movies can inspire major guided tours in cities.
Kinda reminds me of how big ‘The Da Vinci Code’ tours were/are in Paris.
Thanks Heather!
I went on the SATC tour in 2002.. I’m heading back to NY this year and want to check out the sights myself without having to do the tour! This is fabulous!
