TOP FIVE TV WOMEN OF NYC

Happy International Women’s Day! We’re celebrating by championing some of our favorite female TV characters who live right here in NYC. Because we couldn’t narrow it down to just five, up first are the honorable mentions.

10. Kelsey Peters (Younger)

9. Serena van der Woodsen (Gossip Girl)

8. Betty Suarez (Ugly Betty)

7. Kimmy Schmidt (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt)

6. Mindy Lahiri (The Mindy Project)

Amazone Prime

5. Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Marvelous Mrs. Maisel)

In the 1950s, our very own Mrs. Maisel broke out and started her comedy career. A true pioneer who is funny, strong, and independent, we had to include her in our top five.

Netflix

4. Jessica Jones (Jessica Jones)

She’s a badass private investigator that is tracking down bad guys in New York City. Oh yea, and she’s a former superhero with superhuman strength.

NBC

3. Liz Lemon (30 Rock)

Liz Lemon is all of us. She essentially has her dream job and is killing it professionally, but that doesn’t stop her from being undermined or comically failing in her social life or romantic life.

NBC

2. Monica Geller (Friends)

Out of all of the friends, Monica has to be our favorite. She has her aspirations, her rent-controlled apartment, she’s loyal, she’s smart… what’s not to love!?

HBO

1. Carrie Bradshaw (Sex and the City)

Our top spot goes to Carrie Bradshaw herself! She’s NYC goals if there ever is one- a freelance writer with that huge apartment and shopping budget!? We all want to be Carrie.
