Four thirty-something women, who are each dealing with the ups and downs of life, love and everything in between, navigate their way through the complexities of modern dating and relationships in New York City. Carrie Bradshaw, a self-described "sexual anthropologist," is a high-strung writer for a popular newspaper column in which she chronicles her experiences with love and relationships in the city. Miranda Hobbes is a tough-as-nails career woman who is often too busy with work to pursue love. Charlotte York is a conservative art dealer who longs for the perfect fairy tale romance.
