The end of Sex and the City has us reminiscing about Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda — and imagining where they’d hang out if they called Arlington home. From chic brunch spots to lively bars, here’s where you’d likely bump into the fabulous foursome:
Carrie Bradshaw: You’d find Carrie at Palette 22 in Shirlington, sipping craft cocktails and indulging in shareable tapas while people-watching from the best seat in the house.
Samantha Jones: Samantha would be at Oasis Listening Bar in Clarendon, exploring their sake and sushi menu while bringing her own brand of adventurous fun (just stay away from the wasabi).
Charlotte York: For an elegant night out, Charlotte would head to Maison Cheryl in Clarendon, enjoying a French-inspired evening and a perfectly chilled glass of rosé.
Miranda Hobbes: Miranda would unwind at CIRCA at Clarendon, grabbing a no-nonsense post-work wine while unloading about the week.
All Four: Of course, the ladies would regroup at Ruthie’s All-Day in Penrose for their weekly brunch — a standing date over coffee, mimosas, and fluffy biscuits to share all the dating disasters and work drama.
