THE ULTIMATE CARRIE BRADSHAW DAY IN NEW YORK GOES LIKE THIS.

DEEL II

Hi, it's me again! Yesterday I went all out on how fun the SATC tour is, but I said that the Carrie vibe is really missing a bit. To make up for that loss, I typed up my own SATC tour. Not one that visits all the ‘real’ spots from the series, but one that is 100% Carrie cool. We left off at lunch (point 6), so I raise my little umbrella again and hop hop, follow me to the next station!

Mr. Big

After lunch we stroll around 57th Street and 5th Ave. A bit of window shopping (a.k.a. looking-looking-not-buying) at Tiffany’s, Céline, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dolce and so on. A quick pit stop in the park is also possible. But after a few hours of chilling, we head to Bryant Park. The financial district of now, so the place where you have a drink with Mr. Big. Several bars are open in Bryant Park starting from spring. And it’s a fairytale with all the blossoms and the fountain. Plus, many Mr. Bigs in the house, since a lot of financial boys work (and drink) here. At least mine does.

After some ‘handy-minty’ with your (or maybe future) guy, it's time for dinner with the girls. So ditch that man and head to Beauty & Essex. This is in the Lower East and when you arrive it looks like a dodgy pawn shop. But, look closely, because at the back there’s a mega big bouncer with a list (reservation required) for the gate to the ‘secret’ restaurant. I am a superfan of Beauty & Essex. They serve (free, oh-em-gee in New York?) champagne in the ladies' room, have the best menu ever (order the steak tartare here) and the atmosphere is like out of a movie. Love. It.

Baby Paul’s

Time for cocktails! No cosmo, but in 2015 we drink gin & tonic. So the next location on the list is Baby Paul’s in Tribeca. This is so much fun! I was there last week with the Dutch NY crewand it’s amazing. The vibe is indescribable, so just go and see. By the way, they do tend to be difficult at the door so make sure to wear a SATC-fashionable outfit for the torso.

After the party comes the….

No, not the hotel lobby. But, clubbing baby! And to be honest, you just have to go to Meatpacking and pop in somewhere. Le Bain, The Boom Room, Provocateur, Up & Down: they’re all there. So let’s call this the ’free hour‘ and go wild off the tourist path.

Meet up at 03.00, 04.00, 05.00?!

No matter what time you want to make it, for a greasy bite with sore feet and spinning heads from the GTs, you can always go to Cafeteria. We are back in Chelsea and after some fries and coke, I think it’s time to go to bed. This brings the true Carrie cool tour to an end. Sleep tight and take a Finimal, dear all.

THE ultimate CARRIE BRADSHAW tour IN NEW YORK goes like this.

DEEL II

Hi. Me again! Yesterday I went all out on the SATC tour.. Fun but missing a bit of the Carrie vibe. To make up for that I made my own digital SATC tour. Not one that visits all the series hotspots but one that is 100% Carrie cool. We start where I left you off last time. Lunch (no 6). Up goes my umbrella so follow me to the next station.

Mr. Big

After lunch we hang around 57th Street and 5th Avenue. A little window shopping (just looking not buying) at Tiffany’s, Celine, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Dolce and so on. Or you can go for a pit stop in the park. After chilling out for a couple of hours we’re off to Bryant Park. The new financial district, so the appropriate place for a drink with Mr. Big. Several bars are open starting spring. It’s a fairytale with its blossom trees and water fountain. Plus: there are plenty of Mr. Bigs to choose from, a lot of financial boys work (and drink) here. Mine does.

Avondeten

After your dinner mint with your (future) husband it’s time for dinner with the girls. So ditch the guy and leave for Beauty&Essex.. This is on the lower east side and has the air of a cheeky pawnshop, on the outside that is. But keep those eyes open, at the back you’ll see a bouncer holding a list (reservations have to be made). He guards the gate that leads to the secret restaurant. I am a Beauty & Essex super fan. They serve (free OMG in New York?) champagne in the ladies room and have the best menu ever (order the steak tartar) and the atmosphere oozes Hollywood. Love. It.

Baby Paul’s

Cocktail time! Cosmo’s are passé, in 2015 it’s Gin&tonic. The location is: Baby Paul’s in Tribeca. So much fun! The vibe is indescribable so just go and see for yourself. Btw they tend to give you a hard time at the door so wear a fashionable SATC outfit.

After the party comes the….

No not the hotel lobby, clubbin’ baby! And to be frank just head off to Meatpacking and pop in anywhere. Le Bain, The Boom Boom, Provocateur, Up & Down, they’re all there. This is happy hour so go wild and let your hair down.

Meet up 03.00, 04.00, 05.00?!

You call the hour. Dizzy and with sore feet you can get a fatty bite at: Cafeteria. We are back in Chelsea and after some fries and a coke it’s bedtime. Here the Carrie-cool tour comes to an end. Sleep tight and take an aspirin sweeties.
