Sex and the Cities - Best Cities for Singles Ranked

Destination Villas asks what are the sexiest cities in America?

Without Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha there would be no Sex and the City. New York City is the backdrop for their infamous, singles only adventures — but even Carrie Bradshaw might confess there are many great cities where women can feel chic, sexy and sophisticated.

DestinationVillas.com asks what are the sexiest cities in America? To find out, we conducted a poll. Five cities took top honors in making the DestinationVillas.com Sexiest Cities list. Over 15 cities and towns were ranked based upon the singles scene, the number and quality of stylish boutiques and restaurants, and overall sophistication.

New York, New York
Paris may be considered the city of romance, but New York City does romance with a unique luxury twist. New York city is the collective dream of mankind. Want a taste of the Sex and the City life? Stroll over to the West Village for a real cupcake—the first New York City cupcake to become a tourist attraction, in fact. To find this once locals-only sweet shop, follow the tourists to Magnolia Bakery. Be sure to book a Diva weekend at Park Ave.'s Hotel Giraffe, the location of Big’s swank European–style penthouse.

Miami, Florida
Take a walk on the wild side along Miami’s Ocean Drive, the heart of South Beach, where models, fashionistas, and the rich and famous converge. Most of Miami’s diversions are located in South Beach. South Beach has been compared to New York City as the city that never sleeps. In fact, a lively atmosphere is always present and people always seem ready to have a good time. Our readers recommend Amnesia, a nightclub that parties until the early hours of the morning, Bash, owned by Sean Penn, or Club Deep where guests can dance on a giant aquarium.
