Giving up sex is proving hard for its fans. Since Carrie & Co. signed off this winter, New York's Sex and the City tour has tripled in popularity. About 1,000 visitors a week trek to the real-life spots where the show's stars had steamy soirees or cooed over cupcakes. The Sex tour has inspired plans for similar tours in Miami and Boston, linked to CSI Miami and Boston Public, and visitors to Tokyo can now follow Bill Murray's footsteps in Lost in Translation. Here's some of what's out there.
