Tour Sarah Jessica Parker’s Eclectic NYC Brownstone

Your text to link..If you've ever imagined the inside of Sarah Jessica Parker's home, you might have pictured a wall of UGG boots and Manolos, another consisting solely of tutus, and one with a whiteboard outlining her plans to take over Vogue. In actuality, her home looks as cozy and lived-in as yours or mine — except a whole lot better, of course. During a quickie tour of her New York City brownstone for Vogue.com, Sarah Jessica Parker whipped her way through 73 questions that range from informative (her favorite food: Barbuto's roast chicken) to poetic — she describes NYC as "symphonic," "tiny," and "real" — to bizarre. (We'd love to know what psychologists make of her "hand-dipped" Rorschach reading.)

But, while the interview is fascinating, we can't get enough of the tour that lets us see all of her stuff. A Ping-Pong table in the middle of a dining room? Check. Light-up globes? Check, check, check. The most amazing green-velvet couch we've ever seen? For us, right now, please!?
Watch below for a speedy tour of SJP's space (and headspace, too). Also, whoever knows what "cocorec" "kokoreç" means, please get in touch. We'd love to know what, exactly, the most bizarre food she's ever eaten actually is — and where we can get some ourselves. Edit: You folks are fast! Kokoreç is a Turkish dish that's made with lamb or goat intestines and offal.
