Bravo heads to the Big Apple for this entry in its hit reality-TV franchise. This New York edition features several confident women, who change throughout the seasons as the women leave, with some returning later on. The featured ladies over time have included entrepreneur and one-time talk-show host Bethenny Frankel, part-time socialite and full-time mother Aviva Drescher (who is a cousin, by marriage, of actress Fran Drescher), best-selling author and journalist Carole Radziwill, savvy businesswoman Heather Thomson, entrepreneur Ramona Singer, sassy single mother Sonja Morgan and model Kristen Taekman.

Newly debt free, Sonja wants to celebrate by inviting all the women to the Turks and Caicos Islands; Kristen remains perplexed by Bethenny's actions; Carole shares a sex dream; Luann invites everyone to a photo shoot for her new clothing line.

Kristen finds herself in another confrontation with Bethenny at Luann's fashion launch party; the women leave snowy New York and head to the Turks and Caicos Islands, where Ramona tries to land the best room in the villa.

Ramona and Bethenny have a tear-filled discussion after the others go to bed; Ramona tells Sonja that the others think she's an alcoholic; Sonja decides to skip the yacht outing; Dorinda and Heather cause a scene at a restaurant.

While Bethenny makes lunch, Ramona tries to convince everyone to go out to eat instead; at the Conch Bar, the ladies' night of dancing is interrupted when Ramona moves in on the bar owner; Sonja plans a day of fun at the beachfront Gansevoort Hotel.
