With the hype, and now success (at least during its opening weekend) of the summer movie “Sex and the City” dozens of lodgings in the New York area offering travel deals that allow ordinary women to live like their sassy on-screen idols—-Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha. Even if you haven’t seen the movie (or watched a single episode of the now defunct series) you and your best gal pals can live fabulously in the Big Apple—if only for a weekend—without going broke in the process.
Take a look:
