Sarah Jessica Parker Is Taking People on a 'Sex and the City'-Inspired Walking Tour

At this point, Sex and the City has become more of a cultural phenomenon than a TV show. The popular HBO series ran for six seasons and turned Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, and Kim Cattrall into household names. It also gave us the glitziest, most awe-inspiring depiction of New York City in pop-culture history. The sprawling apartments, the endless parade of hot sexual partners, the shoes: It was all so delicious…and impossible. Take it from someone who lives in Manhattan! Sex and the City, at its core, is fantasy: a cosmopolitan-scented dream of what life would be like if you had enough money and status to just play around Manhattan with SJP all day.
But that fantasy can become your reality next Friday. For the (admittedly steep) price of $400, you can join Sarah Jessica Parker for a walking tour of sorts around New York City. The experience, offered through Airbnb, will help raise money for the New York City Ballet and includes the following:
-
A shoe-shopping excursion with Parker herself at Bloomingdale’s. (You’ll be perusing Parker’s own SJP Collection, of course.)
-
A frozen yogurt date—yes, still with SJP—to Forty Carrots, a popular NYC dessert spot.
-
Tickets to the New York City Ballet (unfortunately, Parker isn’t attending this with you).
Amazing, right? This is basically an episode of Sex an the City minus Carrie annoyingly complaining about Mr. Big for hours. There’s only a few spots available, so diehard fans with hundreds of dollars to spare should hop on this quickly. If you don’t have the funds, though, you can always just eat cheap ice cream and re-watch every episode of Sex and the City where Carrie talks about shoes (so, literally every episode). That’s just as fun!
