How much would Carrie's new Gramercy apartment in 'AJLT' really cost?
Carrie Bradshaw and her Manolos will have plenty of room in her new Gramercy apartment — but what would the sex columnist and fashion guru actually pay IRL for the stunning 1,700 square-feet apartment?
In the 'Sex and the City' spinoff, 'And Just Like That,' Carrie, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, upgrades her one-bedroom West Village apartment to a beautiful brownstone in the exclusive Gramercy Park area so that she and her on-again boyfriend, Aidan (John Corbett), could have a place big enough for two.

However, at the end of Season 2, Aidan tells Carrie that they have to put their relationship on hold for five years so that he can ditch the city and take care of his son — leaving his longtime lover alone in her brand-new (and pricey) pad.
The Post spoke to Elena Sarkissian, a real agent with Douglas Elliman, and Lauren Mitinas-Kelly, a real estate expert on 'Owning Manhattan' star Ryan Serhant's powerhouse SERHANT brokerage and founder of her own LMK Limitless team, who shared why Carrie — and her heels— made the perfect purchase and how much it could cost the average Joe today.

Carrie's new home, which is used for the exterior shots in 'And Just Like That,' is located at 3 Gramercy Park West.
A Season 3 promo highlights the property, showcasing Carrie in a photo outside her drop-dead townhouse with the caption, 'Let's hear it for the dress and a new address.' The place was also featured in the 'Coming Soon to Max' trailer, signifying the Gramercy apartment will be a new chapter for Carrie.

A listing from 2019 shows that the Gramercy property was listed for $4,495,000, and it sold for that price. Mitinas-Kelly compared the 1,700-square-foot apartment to others from the last 12 months in the lovely location and shared that on a purely per-square-foot basis, Carrie's place would be worth roughly $2.4 million.
However, there are several reasons why she believes the home would still sell between $4.5 and $5 million today, adding there has been an 'overall uptick in pricing in downtown co-ops since the pandemic,' and Sarkissian agrees.
Scroll for the reasons why they say Carrie's apartment is so 'special' that one could argue the value is closer to $5M now.
The neighborhood
10 Its location is actually on the park, making it 'one of the most coveted 'private members' clubs in town,' real estate expert Lauren Mitinas-Kelly exclusively tells The Post.

Carrie's place is located directly on the park, with Mitinas-Kelly noting that only two of the five comps she reviewed were situated there.
'As we know, being on the park makes the owner one of the chosen few given access to the supreme exclusivity of a key to the park. It's one of the most coveted 'private members' clubs in town,' she exclusively told The Post.
To compare, Mitinas-Kelly said the LMK Team at SERHANT recently accepted an offer just shy of $6 million for a condo in a new amenitized building located just two blocks away from Carrie's brownstone.

Sarkissian also mentioned the value of the location, telling The Post, 'Homes which are on and near Gramercy Park are precious and rare. The exposure on the show is just underscoring what every New Yorker knows: that everyone aspires to live on Gramercy Park!'
'Gramercy is known for its classic Beaux Arts architecture and its famous occupants yet this quintessential neighborhood is also evolving into the modern era with new construction buildings everywhere,' she continued. 'I think Gramercy is a symbol for the ever-changing and all-enduring appeal of Manhattan. It's the perfect neighborhood for Carrie.'
The Building

Mitinas-Kelly pointed out that Carrie's new apartment is in 'one of the most coveted, boutique, Greek Revival buildings on the Park.' It was built in 1846, and there are only nine units.

Listing off several unbelievable features like the 11-foot ceilings and wood-burning fireplace to the marble master bath with heated floors and views of Gramercy Park and Calgary St. George's Church, Mitinas-Kelly told The Post, 'This apartment is truly one of a kind and dripping in style. They just don't make this location and buildings/apartments like this anymore.'
Sarkissian also gushed over the 'charming details' of Carrie's 'turn-of-the-century' co-op, highlighting the townhouse's 'cast-iron lacework entrance, its parlor floor windows facing Gramercy Park with beautiful verdant views, the private primary suite in the back with its octagonal shape and serene views,' which she called 'all dreamy!'
But there are downsides
10 However, Mitinas-Kelly said there is a downside to owning a co-op on Gramercy.
Craig Blankenhorn/Max
While Carrie will thrive in her new home, Mitinas-Kelly shared that owning a co-op on Gramercy 'really limits your buyer pool,' adding that for the high price, 'it's not full service.' The building doesn't have a doorman, doesn't allow pied a terres (which also restricts foreign purchasers) or subletting, many features that any New Yorker would expect with a multi-million dollar price point.

'Also, the financial review and interview process is very rigorous,' she explained about the buying process, 'and so few buyers will be 'welcome' to the building' — however, she does believe it suits Carrie just right.
Sarkissian noted that 'maintenance in NYC includes HOA and real estate taxes,' adding that while the building's fees 'are reasonable,' one 'always needs to consider the capital improvements potentially ahead in a building of this age'— but she, too, thinks it's the 'perfect' location for Carrie.
Why it's a flawless fit for Carrie
10 But she believes the property is the perfect place for 'a well-heeled, professional, true New York woman' like Carrie.
Craig Blankenhorn/Max
'It's actually the perfect fit and choice for a well-heeled, professional, true New York woman such as Carrie Bradshaw!' Mitinas-Kelly shared with The Post. 'She even has space for her very own, huge walk-in closet and vanity!'

'It goes to show that the market is what someone is willing to pay for it,' she added, 'and this apartment is a unicorn for so many reasons.'
Sarkissian shared that the area 'fits the evolution of Carrie's character and her lifestyle in NYC through the years, especially in this new act.'

I'm a superyacht nanny — I get paid to travel the world in luxury while watching rich people's kids
BB Smalls wasn't looking for a free ride when she signed on as a nanny to Hollywood honchos, globally-renowned rock stars and bigwig billionaires. But free first-class flights to Bora Bora, $100,000 rooms at the St. Regis Resort and bougie boating excursions along the Amalfi Coast are exactly what she got — not to mention routine shopping sprees at Gucci, Chanel and Louis Vuitton — while on the job. 'I've been everywhere: Maui, Tahiti, London, Italy, Scotland, you name it,' Smalls, 44, from Los Angeles, tells The Post. Advertisement Nondisclosure agreements bar her from spilling the secrets and specifics of her eccentric ex-bosses. But Smalls, now a married stay-at-home mom living in Texas, says, 'Nannying for the right people means getting paid to travel.' She's in the 40% of childcare providers who are 'superyacht nannies,' and regularly globetrot, by sky, land or sea, to luxe locations with their employers, per data via the International Nanny Association. 9 BB Smalls has been living a grand life as a superyacht nanny to the rich and famous. Courtesy BB Smalls Advertisement It's a post that grants kiddo pros the opportunity to see the sights, as well as how the top 1% travels, for free. The super lucky even get to nanny on superyachts, vacation vessels spanning over 80 feet in length, which are roughly twice the length of an average yacht. The behemoths come fully staffed with a captain and crew. Chartering the megacruisers can cost between $100,000 and more than $1 million per week, depending on size, time of year and onboard amenities, such as helipads, movie theatres, Jacuzzis and gyms. But most A-list showboats like Mark Zuckerberg, who paid a reported $300 million for his 387-foot superyacht, and Jeff Bezos, with his 417-foot, $500 million ship, rarely sweat over dollars and cents. Advertisement 9 Ella Peters has been a superyacht nanny for a decade. Ella Peters/ Ella Peters, a superyacht nanny of nearly 10 years, said that during peak yachting season, June through August, she's often booked for back-to-back trips with a revolving door of well-to-do employers from NYC, Europe and the Middle East. 'I do love the job,' the 28-year-old owner of UK's tells The Post. 'But it is exhausting.' She charges around $500 per day for her on-ship sitter services. However, her fees, not including the standard 'four-figure tip' she typically receives, can increase according to the number of children aboard and their ages. Advertisement 9 Peters' job has taken her all over the world. Ella Peters/ Like Smalls, Peters works for internationally known hotshots whose names must remain hush-hush due to NDAs. Her upper-crust clients routinely rent nearly 300-foot-long tubs, costing over $1 million per week, for family cruises through the Mediterranean. The preferred path they sail is famously known as 'The Milk Run.' On it, tycoons tour the south of France, Corsica and Sardinia, Italy — home to Costa Smeralda, nicknamed 'billionaires' playground,' owing to its turquoise waters, fine-sand shores and chichi beach clubs. 'It has everything my ultrahigh net worth families want,' said Peters. 'My favorite 'pinch me' moment was driving myself and my 11-year-old charge on a jet ski through the famous Faraglioni rocks in Capri, Italy,' the Londoner said. 9 Peters said her clients are 'ultrahigh net worth families,' but NDAs forbid her from disclosing whom she's worked for. Ella Peters/ Still, Smalls, who recently left VIP nannying for content creation, says working for the uberwealthy wasn't always smooth sailing. 'One Bel Air family wanted me to nanny for them on a yacht for an entire month, but I wasn't allowed to be seen,' she recalled of the odd demand. 'If either parent walked into a room that I was in, I'd have to hide and hold in place until they left the room.' Advertisement 'During my downtime on the yacht, I'd have to stay out of sight and be banished to my room.' But Peters has only had stellar experiences — and very little downtime — while minding mini moguls on the waves. 'I get up before the children and try to drink some coffee in peace,' Peters says. 'When you're onboard, you have to put in effort to get a few moments to yourself. After that, everything is go, go, go.' But her skills are worth every penny. Advertisement 9 Peters does everything from feeding the kids breakfasts aboard the ship to accompanying them on jet ski rides. Ella Peters/ Peters comes fully equipped with pediatric first-aid training, police background clearance, nanny insurance, water safety training and a personal watercraft license — documents that permit her to operate jet skis and paddle boats. And while their moneyed mommies and daddies play, she entertains the tots all day. 'After my coffee, I greet the kids in the morning as they wake up, then feed them a small breakfast before we do arts and crafts,' Peters began. Advertisement Depending on the size of the superyacht, she either gets her own room, bunks with the babies or shares living quarters with a crew member. 9 Peters said the best route to sail is famously known as 'The Milk Run,' which goes through the south of France, Corsica and Sardinia, Italy — home to Costa Smeralda, nicknamed 'billionaires' playground.' Ella Peters/ 'When the parents wake up, the kids have a proper family breakfast with them, then we do a few morning watersports before they do a family-style buffet lunch,' continued the millennial. 'In the afternoon, when the sun is really hot, we do more arts and crafts before doing more water activities or stopping off at a local village for ice cream and exploring.' 'At night, I feed the kids dinner while the parents prepare for their evening plans,' she said of the superpacked schedule. 'Then it's time for bed.' Advertisement 9 Peters said she is booked solid through yacht season to watch kiddos. Ella Peters/ Sarah Leonard, 25, a superyacht nanny from Maryland, however, tells The Post her days on the water are more like walks in the park. 'I spend about four hours a day working with the kids, the rest of the time I'm able to chill on the yacht or maybe explore,' said the Gen Z. She's spent the past two summers as a superyacht nanny for a South African influencer family with a bent towards boating around Turkey, Greece and Italy. 'I was working as a scuba diver in Puerto Rico back in 2023, and I saw a Facebook listing for a yacht nannying position and applied,' said Leonard, a certified rescue diver and CPR expert and former lifeguard. 9 Sarah Leonard, 25, has been a superyacht nanny for the past two summers. @sarahtravelingnanny/TikTok For her, the childcare gig was an unpaid position that came with the perks of enjoying an all-inclusive, saltwater excursion. And the family, comprising a mom, dad and two boys under age 8, treated Leonard like family, giving her a private bedroom and bathroom, including her in family meals and 'gifting' her with a special token of their appreciation at the end of the two-month journey. 9 Leonard wasn't paid for her gig, but got to join a family for two months on their yacht. @sarahtravelingnanny/TikTok But Leonard, who'll be touring Italy and France with new brood this summer, says traveling with little ones is the true gift that keeps on giving. 'I get to experience the world through the eyes of these little kids,' gushed the superyacht nanny. 'It's magical.'

'The Boys' just dropped an unhinged video poking fun at 'The Bear,' 'The Last of Us,' 'House of the Dragon' and itself
"The Boys" season 5 is still filming and is tentatively projected for a 2026 release window. But in the meantime, "The Boys" season 4 is campaigning for Emmy nominations, and it's doing it in a way that is as delightfully demented as the twisted superhero show itself. Titled "Acting for Awards Season," this for your consideration (FYC) video is a parody of "Masterclass" that stars "award-winning" director Adam Bourke (P.J. Byrne), who directed the Vought Studios films "Dawn of the Seven" and 'Training A-Train.' In the video, the (entirely fictional) director lays out his guide to dominating awards season and makes fun of several very real shows along the way. None of these shows are explicitly named, but you can pretty easily spot most of them. First up? "Mare of Easttown," and its "Philadelphia accents," which get attacked at the 0:36 mark. Then it's on to skewering "Bridgerton" and its prolific amount of promiscuous people, while possibly also going after "Shogun" and its use of seppuku. Of course, "Game of Thrones" wasn't going to escape Bourke's razor wit. "Dragons. Cheesy as hell," the director declared, clearly taking aim at "House of the Dragon." "But banging your sister on a dragon? Jackpot!" Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. From there, we go into a brief musing on whether or not the stars of "The Bear" are qualified to speak on political issues like immigration before giving praise to "The Last of Us" season 1 for being "one-eighth gay." This is, of course, a reference to the season 1 episode "Long Long Time," which is possibly the best episode of any show ever. If you've never seen it, or you don't believe me, go watch it on Max right now, then come back and tell me I'm wrong. You won't be able to because, like Bourke in this video, you'll be too busy choking back sobs, having just watched an absolute masterpiece. Finally, "The Boys" took aim at itself, declaring you should "never do a superhero TV show." Granted, it then couldn't resist a parting shot at "Friday Night Lights," but it was still nice to see a moment of self-deprecating humor amongst the deluge of potshots at other acclaimed shows. So, if you haven't become offended to the point of closing out of this article already, or if, like me, you found this unhinged parody to be hysterical, make sure to follow all our latest "The Boys" season 5 coverage to stay up to date with the show's final season. If you haven't already seen the first four seasons, make sure to go check them out on Prime Video right now to make sure you're caught up before season 5 debuts next year. Malcolm has been with Tom's Guide since 2022, and has been covering the latest in streaming shows and movies since 2023. He's not one to shy away from a hot take, including that "John Wick" is one of the four greatest films ever made. Here's what he's been watching lately:

Billy Joel shares 1st message to fans since brain disorder diagnosis
Billy Joel is sharing a message with fans for the first time since revealing he was diagnosed with a rare brain condition called normal pressure hydrocephalus. Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin, the directors of Joel's new documentary, "Billy Joel: And So It Goes," passed along the 76-year-old's message at the film's world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City on Wednesday. "Getting old sucks, but it's still preferable to getting cremated," Joel's note to fans stated. Lacy added that Joel is determined to return and "will be back." The "Piano Man" singer-songwriter announced in late May that he would be canceling his scheduled concerts under doctor's orders as a result of his diagnosis. "This condition has been exacerbated by recent concert performances, leading to problems with hearing, vision, and balance," his team said in a statement on Joel's Instagram page at the time. "Under his doctor's instructions, Billy is undergoing specific physical therapy and has been advised to refrain from performing during this recovery period." Normal pressure hydrocephalus is one of two types of hydrocephalus, an "abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid deep within the brain," according to the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Cerebrospinal fluid is the fluid that lives in the ventricles, or cavities, of the brain that helps cushion the brain and the spinal cord. When the flow of CSF is somehow blocked and fluid builds up in the ventricles, it causes normal pressure hydrocephalus, according to the agency. The extra fluid in the brain can cause pressure and lead to brain damage, as well as issues with walking, bladder control and thinking and reasoning. The May announcement followed an earlier postponement of Joel's tour in March, which had initially been scheduled to resume in July. At the time, Joel said in a statement on social media that he had a medical condition and he was recovering from surgery, would undergo physical therapy and was expected to make a full recovery. "While I regret postponing any shows, my health must come first," he said then. "I look forward to getting back on stage and sharing the joy of live music with our amazing fans. Thank you for your understanding." The "Billy Joel: And So It Goes" documentary features never-before-seen footage of some of Joel's performances and offers fans a glimpse into the legendary artist's private life through home videos and more. The documentary will air later this summer on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.
