Central Park Boathouse, the Lake

The Central Park Boathouse, long known as the Loeb Boathouse, across the Lake on a May afternoon in 2008, with rowboats out on the water. This is where Carrie and Big topple off the dock into the lake together in "Cock a Doodle Do," the Season 3 finale, a single-take stunt that sent Sarah Jessica Parker for a tetanus shot after she cut her foot. The restaurant closed in 2022 and fully reopened in 2024 under new operators. Rowboat rentals run in the warmer months, from spring through October, so in season you can recreate the scene from the dry side of the boat. The entrance is off East 72nd Street and Park Drive North.
