One of the greatest things about living in New York City is the constant hustle and bustle. Being a Los Angeles transplant, I was naturally VERY excited when I found out Whitney Port from The Hills was switching coasts, even more excited when I figured out after watching the show that Whitney and I hang out at plenty of the same spots. Some of you may being saying, who??? Understandable, not everyone is a reality TV junkie like myself, so if that's the case take my word for it- Whitney and friends hang at some pretty radical joints.

Who is Whitney Port??

Widget_dvo2vlgb9nfqycaglpmfe8

Many of you may know her from her appearances on the MTV show with Lauren Conrad, The Hills. She was an intern at Teen Vogue and wing man to Lauren until….she got offered a job at Dian Von Furstenberg in New York City.

Whitney’s Bio:
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Whitney has always been a California girl. But when an opportunity comes along for her to work with Diane von Furstenberg in New York, she knows the time has come to leave home and her friends to pursue her career in fashion. Now Whitney is taking on the Big Apple with big hopes, plenty of fears and only herself to rely on. She has her work cut out for her, learning the ropes at a whole new level of the fashion industry, and on top of that, finding her way in the uber-competitive social scene of New York City. It’s a far cry from Los Angeles, and if Whitney is going to make it here, she’ll have to make it on her own.

Will she make it????

Diane Von Furstenberg’s isn’t for people with an empty pocket, this is celebrity clothing.

Well I have the answer to that for Ms. Erin, notice the picture in the background…yep?? Look familiar? Alright, Erin’s papa is the bass player for…..ACDC.

That’s some dough right there.

Even though it may be tough, Whit's got LOVE!!

Who's Jay???

Widget_cel_5wxvvem47noy-a33vl

That Australian accent is pretty charming eh?? Is this guy going to be good for such a good girl…it’s too soon to tell. Plus, he’s a musician….

Jay’s Bio:
The first time Whitney saw Jay, he lit up her life and she knew they’d be together. The only question now is how long will they last? Jay is a musician who likes to stay out late and party with his friends. Whitney thinks he’s “beautiful,” but she’s not the only one. Jay adores Whitney, but will he give in to the temptations lurking around every corner in New York City? Or, after having just gotten out of a long relationship, will he step up and become the man that Whitney needs

When Whitney moves to the city, Erin, who she’s known for years, is the only person Whitney can call a friend. Erin is a downtown party girl who loves life and confesses to dating three guys at once. Why settle for one if you can get away with three? Who better than someone like Erin to help Whitney navigate the dating scene of New York City?

Moving means making new friends, right??

Who is Olivia Palermo??

Widget_djkxm6bwvaladvxqg5egmn

Hm, friend or foe? Whitney’s colleague wants to teach Whitney a thing or two….

Olivian’s Bio:
Don’t hate her because she’s beautiful. A socialite — better known in some circles as a ‘social’ — Olivia is a native of the Upper East Side and knows New York City top to bottom. Attending a steady stream of society parties, charity events, and celebrity galas, and hosting her own famed rooftop dinner parties, she lives an A-list lifestyle. Working in fashion PR for Diane von Furstenberg, Olivia will teach Whitney a thing or two about New York — whether Whitney likes it or not. Will Olivia’s uptown sensibility clash with Whitney’s downtown vibe? The only thing that’s certain is Olivia won’t be afraid to speak her mind along the way.

Olivia complains about Whitney being a downtown girl, but she herself lives downtown…..though they don’t mention that in the show, obviously.

I love how you mapped out The City spots. I think you are on to something here. Maybe host your own The City walking tour. I’m serious. They have a bus tour for Sex And The City. Go for it.
