Carrie

Welcome to the age of un-innocence. No one has breakfast at Tiffany’s and no one has affairs to remember.

— Sex and the City ‧ 1998

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

Carrie announces a new, less romantic era she names the age of un-innocence. Playing on older story titles, she notes no one has quiet mornings at Tiffany's or memorable affairs anymore. The line mourns a lost sense of old-fashioned romance with wry wit.
