New York Approves Gate for Iconic 'Sex and the City' Filming Location

The owner of Carrie Bradshaw's famous brownstone secures approval to install a gate to manage persistent tourist visits.

Barbara Lorber, owner of the West Village brownstone featured in 'Sex and the City,' sought to install a gate to deter intrusive fans.
The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission approved the request, citing the need to balance historic preservation with modern challenges.
Fans have continued to visit the site for over 20 years, often ignoring existing 'Private Property' signs and barriers.
Lorber explained that the house became a filming location after she granted permission to a young location scout, unaware of the show's eventual global success.
The gate's design is still under review to ensure it aligns with the historic character of the neighborhood.
