Carrie's Stoop, 66 Perry Street

The brownstone steps at 66 Perry Street, between Bleecker and West 4th Streets in the West Village, photographed in June 2005. The show placed Carrie's apartment on the Upper East Side, but this is the stoop she climbs, sits on and says goodnight on in the series, and it is the most recognizable stop on any Sex and the City walk. This is a private home, not an attraction. Look and take your photo from the sidewalk, and stay off the steps: years of fans climbing them led the owner to win city approval for a gate. Magnolia Bakery is a few minutes' walk up Bleecker Street, so the two make an easy pair.
