Thinking about toasting Carrie Bradshaw with a cosmo while posing on the front steps of her Manhattan brownstone from Sex and the City ?
Think again.
The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission has approved an application for a gate after Barbara Lorber, who has owned the building since 1978, lamented “the endless presence of interest in my celebrity staircase”.
The stately three-storey building in Greenwich Village’s historic district was used for exterior shots of the apartment occupied by Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker .
“I’d hoped for literally decades that this would pass,” Lorber told the commission during heartfelt testimony. “But at this point, I think even someone as stubborn as I am has to admit that this isn’t going away in the near future.”
