Get ‘Carrie’d’ Away in Midtown Manhattan

By Kimberlie Birks

As Carrie Bradshaw once again prepares to sashay her way onto the silver screen, you can see her sexy style (and raise her one) with a day of haute fashion, food and fun in ‘the City’s’ Midtown.

Let Bergdorf Goodman put that swing in your step with seven floors of swoon-worthy fashion. If the shopping hasn’t gone to your head, interior designer Kelly Wearstler’s intoxicating BG Restaurant, located on the top floor overlooking Central Park, definitely will. Toast your new looks with a glass of bubbly and relax into the idea of an afternoon at one of the best spas in Manhattan, so conveniently close that you could even wear your new shoes there.

A short jaunt west, the five-star  Spa at Mandarin Oriental presides over Columbus Circle. Bamboo, stone and gold leaf and jaw-dropping Central Park views set the tone for an afternoon of languid luxury. Try the Ayurvedic Ritual Experience; three hours of heavenly bliss that includes a Shirodhara treatment, in which the continuous stream of warm oils flowing over your forehead and scalp will mess with your head even more magnificently than the champagne.  Afterwards, from the comfort of your deck chair in the female-only relaxation lounge, sip tea and contemplate your red-carpet entrance to Sex and the City 2.

How can you lose? Now that you feel as good as you will look, your sex appeal is sure to be sequel-worthy.
