(Optional, if time allows) Oniel's has become known for being a part of the HBO Sex and the City TV Series. The bar stood in for SCOUT and owned by Carrie and Miranda’s ex-boyfriends, Aidan and Steeve. The bar proudly claims that it is famous for being the replacement for that “casually hip” bar. The main feature of the Grand Street Bar for any Sex and the City watcher is the interior and furniture design that Carrie made for her first boyfriend Aidan. The interior mostly consists of dark, shiny and hand-carved wood, but most importantly it feels like the bar was specifically built for the show and Aidan. The fans of the series would confirm this claim if recall Carrie’s quote upon her first time looks at the SCOUT: “There was no sign for him, but he was everywhere. In the mahogany bar, wood floors, carved ceiling. The whole place looked and felt just like Aidan.”
