With Sex and the City the prequel filming in Manhattan and AnnaSophia Robb making her debut as the teenage Carrie Bradshaw (CB), it seems fitting that West Village resident and original CB Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband, Matthew Broderick, are said to be moving on from Manhattan pastures.

They will apparently join the bridge-and-tunnel crowd across the water in still hip Brooklyn’s high-toned, low-key Brooklyn Heights neighbourhood.

Neighbours will include our own Gabriel Byrne and Grammy-winning singer Norah Jones.
