As you probably already know, Warner Bros. Sex and the City 2 will be released next Thursday, May 27th. What you might not know, is that there are several events going on all over NYC in anticipation of the movie’s release. Here are some of the more in demand events happening, according to Guest of a Guest:
The Actual Movie Premiere
When: May 26, 2010
Where: Radio City Music Hall
Why: Let’s not get carried away and forget the actual movie premiere. It promises to be a star studded event and of course, a chance to see the movie first – before everyone ruins the apparent plot twists and turns.
Bergdorf Goodman After Party:
When: May 27, 2010
Where: Bergdorf’s – 5th Avenue and 58th Street
Why: See the latest SATC windows – each celebrating a familiar, and well loved series moment – and sip delicious cocktails amongst beautiful clothes and beautiful people. Sounds like a real, vintage Sex and the City moment to us.
Release Party at the Empire
When: Friday, May 21 9 pm – 4 am
Where: The Deck at the Empire Rooftop
Why: This has good old fashioned Friday night fun written all over it. Might as well down cocktails while overlooking the Manhattan skyline to celebrate the return of the four fabulous SATC women, just remember to bring your big purse because it’s all about giveaways and party swag.
SATC2 Party
When: Wednesday, May 26th 8 – 11pm
Where: McFaddens
800 Second Avenue, New York
Why:Hey, why not purchase a raffle ticket with your booze? I know how we all like to feel like we’re at a high school basketball game, trying to recapture our youths while precariously balanced in manolo-esque stilettos after downing all the two-for-one cocktails your $20 door ticket would allow.
A Toast to Carrie
When: Wednesday May 26th 7 – 9 pm
Where: SideBAR
118 East 15th Street, New York
Why:Are you overly curious as to what exactly Samantha would taste like as an alcoholic beverage? A strange question, but one SideBAR hopes to answer.

Ted Gibsons Sex and the City 2 Blowout Party
When: May 14th – 29th
Where: 184 Fifth Avenue, 2nd Floor
Why:Designed primarily for the chick that is constantly lusting over Carrie’s luscious locks and just dying to sit in the same stylists chair as Sarah Jessica Parker. Who would turn down a chance to rub shoulders with B-list stars while being treated to one free glass of champagne and a mere 15% off an overpriced hair cut? Oh right, anyone not from Brooklyn.
Sex and the City Pamper Me Extravaganza
When: Friday, May 29
Where: Ripley Grier’s Studio
520 West 8th Avenue, 17th Floor
Why: The plan is to watch the first Sex and the City while munching on appetizers and getting pampered by a mobile spa. We don’t really understand … hasn’t everyone seen the first movie a dozen times?
Limited Edition SATC2 Makeup Brush Set Giveaway
When:Friday, May 21
Where: Macy’s
Herald Square, New York – at the Fragrance Bar
Why:Purchase $100 worth of stuff storewide and get some limited edition makeup brushes. Cool! Now you can look old and airbrushed too!
Decadestwo and Hautelook sponsored Sex and the City Shopping Soiree
When: May 21 10 am – 7 pm
Where: It’s so amazing and exclusive that it’s still a secret!
Why: Essentially, the shopping event of your dreams. Four closets, one super-glam apartment and designer clothing galore. Everyone knows that their husband/siblings/parents/roommates will understand when you come home with a giant bag of shoes – you simply just have to explain with an “I had to – Charlotte was wearing these shoes (or whatever your vice may be) in that scene where she fell off the Camel.” Trust us, all will be forgiven.
Midnight Madness With Willie Garson
When: Wed, May 26 6:00 pm – 2:00 am
Where: On Location Tours, 10 West 37 St, New York, NY
Why: The madness begins with SATC hotspot tours – and a run-in with Willie Garson is promised. Plus, you get dinner at Fresco by Sotto, a private midnight showing of the film and VIP admission to Marquee. Sounds like a girl’s night out to us.
