And just like that ... New York City is moving to finally put an end to unwanted visitors at Sex and the City’s most famous filming locations. The Associated Press reported that the real-life owner of the Brownstone frequently shown as character Carrie Bradshaw’s home in the show has had enough of tourists trespassing on their stoop. On Tuesday, the city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission approved an application for a gate by Barbara Lorber, who said she “hoped for literally decades that this would pass.” Lorber said fans of the show have disregarded a sign not to sit on her Brownstone’s steps to take pictures and even knock on her door in some instances to recreate moments from the show. Even the show’s star Sarah Jessica Parker was reprimanded for crossing the chain barrier on the Brownstone to do a mini photo shoot for her shoe collection. About the issue, Lorber added, “At this point, I think even someone as stubborn as I am has to admit that this isn’t going away in the near future.” Lorber hopes an iron gate will put an end to the problem and bring her Brownstone some peace.
