travels to new york

When anyone who has a TV thinks of New York City, images of Seinfeld, The Sopranos, and Sex and the City immediately come to mind. So in light of the highly anticipated Sex and the City movie, premiering at the end of May, I've found a couple of tour companies that take travelers to all the New York TV hot spots, to see filming locations for movies and shows shot in the Big Apple.

This week, the buzz was about the complete Sex and the City experience (minus the, um, sex), now offered by Destination on Location, a "luxury film and travel company" that specializes in one luxury tour of the city. The four-day, five-night tour includes a cocktail hour at Jimmy Choo, lunch at Balthazar, dinner at TAO, plus lots of stops at Versace, Louis K. Meisel Gallery (Charlotte's Prince Street gallery), and Scoop... and that's just on the first day. One of Patricia Field's stylists will also accompany the tour, giving guests an inside look at New York's famous fashion quartet.

But pretending to be Carrie or Samantha comes with a hefty price tag (and we begin to wonder, as a columnist, how Carrie could afford any of this) – the tour costs $15,000 per person (and, if you decide to take the tour on the movie's premiere weekend, it will cost an extra $9,000).
