The Sherry-Netherland is located on 5th Avenue and only a few Manolo Blahnik moments away from Central Park.

Boasting 317-rooms, the 12-storey Beaux Arts hotel combines luxuriousness with modern David Rockwell interior design. An impressive Tiffany-style dome shimmers over the restaurant, adding the “wow” factor to this New York jewel.

J’adore Paris
Dash off to the city of lights, where we last left Carrie, and take a stroll down Avenue Montaigne.

Take some time to indulge in French pastries whilst watching the world go by from a quaint café ; now you’re living the SATC life, Paris style!

Charlotte’s Tip – Take an early train to the Marché aux Puces St-Ouen de Clignancourt, a Parisian institution for gorgeous antiques – make sure you wear flats though, with more than 1,500 shops and stalls you’ll be in for a long day!
