Sex and the City blazes a glorious, drunken cocktail trail through New York, as Candace Bushnell, columnist and social critic par excellence, trips on her Manolo Blahnik kitten heels from the Baby Doll Lounge to the Bowery Bar. An Armistead Maupin for the real world, she assembles a huge cast of freaks and wonders, while remaining faithful to her hardcore of friends and fans: those glamorous, rebellious, crazy single women, too close to 40, who are trying hard not to turn from the Audrey Hepburn of Breakfast at Tiffany's into the Glenn Close of Fatal Attraction , and are - still - looking for love.
