A Replica of Carrie Bradshaw's 'Sex and the City' Apartment Stoop Has Popped Up in Pitt Street Mall
And just like that, you can pretend you're hanging out in New York City — without leaving Sydney.
Visiting New York City sits on plenty of bucket lists, and there are more than a few reasons why that's the case. But if you've always wanted to head to the Big Apple, wear designer outfits, get paid to write about your love life and, between cocktails and dates, hang out outside your apartment — sitting on the stoop with your significant other, whether you're making up or breaking up — you obviously have Sex and the City to thank.
Running from 1998–2004 (forget the terrible 2008 and 2010 movies), the hit HBO series made Manolo Blahniks a must-wear, turned cosmopolitans into the drink of choice for sips with the gang, and gave tutus their moment outside of ballet. It also showered Carrie Bradshaw's apartment stoop with ample attention, including in big, life-changing moments. Unsurprisingly, the filming location has become a tourist attraction over the past two decades.
Always wanted to make the trip to follow in Sarah Jessica Parker's footsteps, but haven't yet had the chance? With Sex and the City spinoff And Just Like That... now streaming, Binge has brought a replica of that famous apartment stoop to Sydney. It's popping up in the Pitt Street Mall for three days, between Friday, December–Sunday, December 19, ready to fill your Instagram feed with something other than Christmas party pics.
Just like when the Friends couch toured Australia, the Squid Game Red Light, Green Light doll towered over Sydney Harbour and a statue of Borat made an appearance at Bondi Beach, this pop-up is all about three things: indulging one of your pop-culture obsessions, taking snaps and promotion — although And Just Like That... has already had everyone talking after premiering its first two episodes last week.
And no, as you're taking photos of yourself living out your Carrie Bradshaw dreams — Manolo Blahniks optional — you won't find any Peloton fitness equipment in sight.
Find the replica Sex and the City and And Just Like That apartment stoop in the Pitt Street Mall, Sydney, from 12–8pm on Friday, December 17, and 11am–7pm on Saturday, December 18–Sunday, December 19.
