Every Stop Has a Story

The "Lakeside Fall" Restaurant

Carrie and Big accidentally fall into the water here during the Season 3 finale, at a boathouse that's actually the 1954 replacement for the original 1873 Victorian structure designed by Calvert Vaux.

The Big/Natasha Engagement Site

Carrie confronts Mr. Big outside these doors, quoting "The Way We Were," a film that was itself shot at this same hotel.

The Petrovsky Date Spot

This scene is often misremembered as being filmed at the nearby Russian Tea Room, but it actually happened here, at a restaurant that was a genuine favorite of Mikhail Baryshnikov's.

The Wedding-That-Wasn't Library

Carrie's ill-fated wedding to Big in the first film takes place at a library built atop the old Croton Reservoir's foundations, once the largest marble structure in the entire country.

Samantha's Industrial Loft

Samantha moves here to escape her judgmental neighbors, into a neighborhood that was once the literal heart of the city's meat trade before it became a hub for the LGBTQ+ community in the 1970s and 80s.

The Cupcake Bench

Carrie and Miranda's cupcake scene here sparked a genuine global dessert craze, all inside a bakery that opened in 1996 with a deliberately old-fashioned, 1950s aesthetic.

Carrie's Apartment

This Italianate brownstone's signature "high stoop" was originally designed in 1866 to lift residents above the horse-drawn traffic and grime of 19th-century streets.

Miranda and Steve's Wedding Garden

Miranda and Steve's garden wedding takes place on the former site of a women's prison where Mae West once spent the night, arrested in 1927 for her Broadway play, fittingly titled "Sex."

Charlotte's Gallery

Charlotte's gallery sits in Soho's cast-iron district, where 19th-century warehouses built with prefabricated iron facades were rediscovered by artists in the 1970s and transformed into today's high-end gallery scene.

Scout

This bar, renamed "Scout" on screen for Steve and Aidan's fictional business, sits directly across from the old Police Headquarters and reportedly once had a secret Prohibition-era tunnel officers used to drink undetected.
