The home, a stand-in for the exterior of the famous 'Sex in the City' apartment, 'is now a global tourist destination,” the West Village apartment's owner wrote.
“Sex and the City” fans may soon have to clear another hurdle to visit one of the show’s most popular New York City locations.
At the advice of the Sixth Precinct, which serves the West Village and Greenwich Village, the owner strung a chain across her stoop with a “No Trespassing — Private Property” sign many years ago, to no avail, according to her request to the commission. “I felt sorry for the young location scout who was a recent grad from NYU Film School,” the statement reads. “He told me if he didn't secure THIS house, he would lose his first real job in the business."
He said being invited back is always the first priority for a location scout, especially in television, where one location might end up being used for years.Rob Striem, another location scout on early seasons of “Sex and the City,” said some of the sites made famous by the show had a happy result. After he scouted Onieals pub on Grand Street in SoHo, it became the fictional bar where Miranda’s eventual husband Steve worked as a bartender.
“I feel so bad for the lady,” Striem said. “I do remember groaning when we had to go back to Perry Street, by the end. Like ‘Oh, who’s going have to call that woman.’”
