What's another 1,500 words on Sex and the City? For the Post's Mandy Stadtmiller, it's an excuse to riffle through the city's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting for giveaways on secret shooting locations and to interview on-set sources who didn't get the memo about keeping the plot under wraps. So, yes, there are plenty of spoiler alerts in her report, as well as an interactive map where you can stalk Carrie & Co. through their Manhattan misadventures. (It's like Star Maps, but fictitious, though you'll probably sign up for the bus tour anyhow.)

But Stadtmiller's best reportage, in a non-spoiler-alert way, reveals a real world meta discussion on the state of every lady and gay's favorite 2001 drink: the Cosmo.

But we hear that in one of the more self-reflective scenes, the four friends sit drinking Cosmopolitans. Charlotte remarks on how delicious they are.

Miranda then wonders why they ever stopped drinking them in the first place.

Carrie responds sharply, they had to after the rest of the world started. [NYP]
