‘SATC’ brownstone will get a gate

Thinking about toasting Carrie Bradshaw with a cosmo while posing on the front steps of her Manhattan brownstone from “Sex and the City?”

Think again.

The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission approved an application for a gate after Barbara Lorber, who has owned the building since 1978, lamented “the endless presence of interest in my celebrity staircase.” The stately three-story building in Greenwich Village’s historic district was used for exterior shots of the apartment occupied by Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker.
