satc-04-2008.jpgIt makes you wonder: Now that much of Manhattan has turned into a theme park version of “Sex and the City,” would Carrie Bradshaw and the gang still live on the island? Probably not, since Manhattan is as played out as a pair of last season’s Manolos. “It’s expensive, and it’s not what it used to be,” Sarah Jessica Parker tells the Daily News. “That’s why the outer boroughs are so desirable. The outer boroughs are pretty sexy. It’s just a matter of time before they have their own shows.” According to the article, “If ‘Sex’ were starting over today, Carrie would rock out Carroll Gardens. BFF Miranda started out in Park Slope, but later, she’s bound to settle down with Steve, Brady and a brand new car in spacious Red Hook,” while Samantha would roost in Long Island City and Charlotte would play house in Riverdale. The article has quotes from Brooklyn residents who say stuff like, “Carroll Gardens or Williamsburg have a little bit of the hip edge that Carrie has, so she’d be able to get away with her funky outfits and no one would think twice about it.” Hip, edgy, less expensive than Manhattan: You heard it here first, folks. Also, the apocalypse is nigh.

  1. Dave, I think it went well.

    10:37, just because you can’t answer the teacher’s question, don’t be a hater. Go to another discussion. You don’t have to read anything we post, including this. Lighten up and move on…

  2. Here’s the problem. Nobody wants to have to read thru 50 posts about which of you is a top vs a bottom. You know that kid who raised his hand for every question and took up 95% of the oxygen in the room? That’s you! So shut it already. I dont’ care if people don’t stay 100% on topic. I do care about having to read what is really a private conversation btw 3 people. Take it to a chat room.
