Lucky to Be Raised in New York City

Lower East Side

"I love the yellow taxis, I love the architecture… It’s a place that, even today, when I walk out the door, I don’t know what will happen. I’m not in a car; I'm not behind a gate. I’m forced to be on the streets and bump into people and connect with humanity. I think my children are enormously lucky to be raised in New York City."
Sarah Jessica Parker, Town & Country Magazine

Anything is Possible

"Love is possible. Anything is possible. This is New York."
Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Sex and the City

Gone New York

"When I arrived in the city in 1976, New York was financially a wreck. But to me it's the New York that Matthew and I literally try to find every day of our lives. It was the best place in the world. It was literature. It promised everything. And for someone who loved food and smells and stimulation, who was rocked to sleep by the sound of taxis—well, there’s just so much money now, and the city is so affluent, and all the colors, all the shops, the look of a street from block to block is just terribly absent of distinguishing coffee shops, bodegas. All of that stuff that made it possible to live in New York is gone."
Sarah Jessica Parker, New York Magazine

Expose Yourself

Williamsburg

"The beautiful thing about New York is, you have to expose yourself to other people the minute you step outside the door. There is no choice."
Sarah Jessica Parker, Vogue

Labels and Love

"Year after year, twenty-something women come to New York in search of the two Ls: Labels and Love. "

Your Date

Waiting for a Table

Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Sex and the City

Haunted

Christopher Park

“New York is definitely haunted. Old lovers, ex-boyfriends, anyone you have unresolved issues with you are bound to run into again and again until you resolve them.”
Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

Fashion Week

"Every year the women of New York leave the past behind and look forward to the future... this is known as Fashion Week."
Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Sex and the City: The Movie 

Sex in the City

Museum of Sex

"New York City is all about sex. People getting it, people trying to get it, people who can't get it. No wonder the city never sleeps. It's too busy trying to get laid."

Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Sex and the City

The One
