You've waited two years to see Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda back in action, and while we're not sure about this whole traipsing-about-Abu-Dhabi-in-haute-couture thing, we suspect all will be forgiven for fans. So, in honor of "Sex and the City 2," we're taking a look back at some of the New York spots--and moments--made famous by Carrie Bradshaw and her comrades over the years. (Photo: New Line Cinema)

If shoes are Carrie's religion, then this Spanish designer's shop is her temple. From the pair that mysteriously vanished from a friend's cocktail party in one memorable episode to the pair that brought her back together with Big in the first flick, the franchise could just as soon be called "Manolo in the City."
Carrie and her crew famously got most of their outlandish duds from costume designer Patricia Field.
Spotted! Sarah Jessica Parker at the DVF store modeling the iconic designer's clothes during a shoot for the first "Sex and the City" movie.
Trey made up for his lackluster proposal to Charlotte with a trip to this storied jewelry store. But as he would soon learn, even diamonds couldn't save their doomed marriage.
Charlotte went into hibernation after Miranda introduced her to the pleasures of "The Rabbit" at this kinky West Village shop.
No business in all of New York City benefited more from the TV series than this West Village purveyor of tasty cupcakes, which has since opened three additional locations citywide.
The SATC girls dished about politics and sex at this classic Union Square spot known for its stellar seafood.
Mr. Big told Carrie that he was engaged at this top New York restaurant. She promptly made a scene, tripping on the steps on her way out, causing everyone (especially the viewer) to wince.
Richard got a face full of cocktail from an angry Samantha at this festive West Village hot spot. (And to celebrate the release of the new film, the resto is currently pouring its Sex and the City Hakata drink for a limited time.)
Carrie got jazzed over a musician at this upscale hotel bar, which recently received a major face lift. And it may not be the only one--ahem, Samantha.
Speculation ran wild after Carrie, dressed in bridal couture, was spotted screaming at Big outside this NYC landmark during shoots for the first SATC movie. Not her finest hour, but all's well that ends well.
Carrie flew through the air as her friends cheered her on at this Westside school, open to adventurers of all skill levels.
Way back when, Charlotte worked at this Soho Gallery specializing in contemporary art.
Carrie's disastrous Fashion Week fall plus a memorable scene from the first movie took place at Bryant Park.
