From cupcakes to cocktails, Carrie Bradshaw and her friends turned many New York City stores, restaurants and bars into major attractions. Heres a look at seven of them. By Krissy Dolor.

Century 21

Dont think every New Yorker pays retails to look good. Carrie herself was a fan of bargain hunting and shopped at the Financial District location during jury duty. Century 21 is famous for selling designers fashions at discounted prices that cant be beat.

Pastis

If youre in the mood for an aperitif and a refreshing glass of wine, head to Pastis. This popular French bistro is where Carrie and the Russian enjoyed brunch. Just dont forget to plan your trip in advance youll probably need a reservation.

Columbus Circle Fountains

Central Park West and Broadway

This picturesque destination is a must-stop for both tourists and New Yorkers alike. Whether youre meeting a new love for bite to eat or having the breakup talk, like Carrie and Aiden the breathtaking fountain views make any situation a bit more bearable.

Grays Papaya

402 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10014

Everyone knows that hot dogs are a New York staple. However, a frank from Grays Papaya is its own experience. Carrie grabbed one of these $1.50 dogs after her ritzy book party. Just dont forget the best part of the meal a cup of delicious papaya juice.

Church of the Transfiguration

1 East 29th Street
New York, NY 10016

(212) 684-6770

Known for its ties to New Yorks theater community, this house of worship was made famous when Samantha tried to catch the eye of a good-looking priest. The Little Church Around the Corner got its nickname in 1870 when a nearby church refused to bury an actor, sending the body to a little church around the corner that would do that sort of thing.

Magnolia Bakery

Manolo Blahnik

31 West 54th Street
New York, NY 10019

Wed be remiss if we didnt mention the iconic Manolo Blahnik flagship store off of Fifth Avenue. Carrie made Manolos a must-have in every womans closet. But dont say we didnt warn you: these pumps and prices are sky high, and most definitely not for the faint of heart.
