How's that for the strangest headline ever? It'll all make sense, but we have to warn you fans with a major spoiler alert: Page Six is reporting that Carrie and Mr. Big will get married at New York's famous St. Patrick's Cathedral in the new SitC movie. Filming started early this morning and will go until late tonight, says the gossip sheet.
Not that the area around St. Pat's could get any more hectic. Right across from Rockefeller Center, the giant is a major tourist draw because it's the largest gothic cathedral in the United States. And unlike most churches we know, it's open from 6:30 am until almost 9 pm.
If you're not that into churches, Sex in the City or not, another tourist trap that's worth your time is nearby: the Top of the Rock observation deck.

Enter another one into the NYC cupcake competition:
Bruce's Cupcakery, also just known as Bruce's Bakery. Tucked into a weird, busy corner on 57th St and 1st Ave., Bruce's retro
neon signs stand out, and the window displays beckon with cupcakes, challah bread, and anything else baked that day. Sure, Bruce's looks a little suspect from the outside, but only because it's a real old-school style NY bakeshop. No cutesy tea menu or awning here, just the real thing: delicious, moist cupcakes and good deals.
You can even head to Bruce's for lunch, where a sandwich, Coke, and surprise (hint: think cupcake) spice up any old brown bagger's day. Bruce's cakes are also pretty damn good (albeit a bit pricey). You'll be trying to wash down and digest that chocolate ganache for a good while. They've also got an outpost in Great Neck, Long Island, and like to call themselves "the baker to the stars" meaning Mickey Mantle and the cast of All My Children, but that's what we love about Bruce's - they're not into the next, hip thing, only into what works.
