“Mr. Big” No Longer Loves the Big Apple

Noth’s love affair with NYC has ended.
Chris Noth, known for playing Mr. Big on the hit series, Sex and the City, has voiced his disappointment in the current state of the city he used to love, WENN reports.
Noth’s opinions apparently are in line with the producers of Sex and the City: The Movie, who decided not to hold the world premiere in New York, where the movie and TV show were filmed, but in London instead.
The actor, who began residing in New York City in the 1970s, told Interview magazine that its appeal has greatly lowered over the years. “New York is pretty much commercialized to the point of no return,” he complained. Noth also misses the city’s creative scene, stating, “It's very suburban. The art scene really left, except in patches. It's all about sort of a corporate sensibility, and it's squeezed out room for any other kind of sensibility.”
Noth claims to also miss the city’s diversity – what he calls the “eccentrics” and “different neighborhoods.”
The city has disappointed the actor so much that he has decided to move his Cutting Room night club from New York to Las Vegas. He defends his choice, stating: “I want to take the club to Vegas. I think a Cutting Room would be great in Vegas. I just haven't really had the time to go out there and schmooze people and try to get them to invest millions of dollars.”
