That's when we love New York the most...

Seven years ago, New York City was reeling from the most devastating terrorist attack ever on American soil. To many, the strike in the heart of the city's financial center seemed like a mortal blow. One of the many fears that immediately followed that day revolved around whether the city would ever recover. Businesses and people moved out. Tourists stopped coming. But, as the millions of people who continue to work and visit here know--and if our readers allow us to indulge in a little bit of shameless but heartfelt boosterism--New York is back and better than ever. And "Sex And The City" the movie, will be released worldwide on Friday, May 30.

With the release of Sex and the City: The Movie and the set-invading coverage of its filming, New Yorkers have been confronted with a four-year-old, sequined skeleton in their closet (and it's clutching a Marc Jacobs tote, natch). Whether you've been snapping photos of the filming locations and sending them to the gossip blogs or you curse the Carrie-fication of this city and pine for the schlumpy days of Seinfeld, we can all agree SATC transformed the image of New York City inside and out.

We are taking the opportunity to celebrate just some of the many things that make New York the great city it is. From Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, Charlotte and the rest of the characters, its culture to its sidewalks, its swank shops to its hot dog vendors, here are some of the reasons why everyone loves New York.

On May 30, queers in NYC will celebrate the city with Samantha, Miranda, Charlotte and Carrie. They will be drinking, dancing and working it. That's when we love New York the most -- when we get together, celebrating the city and having great sex afterwards.
