I toured New York (the Sex & the City way)

When Sex and the City (SATC) came to our television screens in 1998, it was huge!  I guess it was the IT-girl TV show of my time.  I remembered many a nights huddling with my girlfriends reminiscing scenes from the SATC episodes.  When I knew that we were going to New York and that the Man was going to be spending most of the days at the office, I decided to book myself a ‘Sex and the City Hotspots Tour’- a 3-hour tour that allowed me to follow the footsteps of Carrie and company as we visit the locations from the series.  It was going to be my fun thing to do on my own.

*Spoiler alert: Read only if you are interested to learn more about the tour.. I really don’t want to spoil the fun for you if you are thinking of signing up for the same tour.

Meeting point for the tour was at the Plaza Hotel (opposite the Apple Store) along 5th Avenue.  I arrived about 10 minutes ahead of the meeting time at 11am and was kinda surprised to find a long queue forming, primarily ladies with 6 really ‘gamed’ men that came along the tour.  I was the only person that did the tour alone, most of the people who went on this tour either went with their girl pals (I guess it’s a fun girly kind of thing to do) or men who accompanied their other halves.  Since I was alone, I got bummed to the front and joined these lovely 3 ladies from Aussie.
