Carrie's apartment in NY

Being a true SATC fan I'd love to go by and see "her apartment" where she lives in the series. I know it's on 66 Perry Street on Bleeker. I think I passed it years ago. But my question is how far is it from Chelsea where I am staying on 29th street?

What is the address on 29th Street? In any case, unless you are on the far east side, it is within about a half-hour or so walking distance. My sister lived across the street until recently.

Are you certain "where she lived" as photographed for the show is actually in that building she may have been seen coming in and out of, or was she, in fact, on a sound stage somewhere?

From the link above, Dukey got it right:
"66 Perry Street was only used for exterior shots. In the 2008 film, actress Sarah Jessica Parker is seen from outside sitting at her desk from the upstairs window. All rooms were created on a sound stage. This location and the Ghostbusters headquarters are the most visited film locations by movie fans. It is not an uncommon sight to see groups of people standing outside the brownstone property on Perry Street and in recent times, the residence have placed a chain across the lower part of the steps to stop people standing on them."

Yes, I am only interested in visiting the famous stairs you always see her running up or down from Thirty minute walk is not bad at all. Thanks so much!
