Rarity Takes Manehattan

Rarity Takes Manehattan is an upcoming episode of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. It is the eighth episode of the fourth season, and the seventy-third episode overall. The name is either a reference to the 1984 movie, The Muppets Take Manhattan, a reference to Leonard Cohen's song "First We Take Manhattan", which specifically refers to the fashion industry, or the 1989 slasher film, Jason Takes Manhattan.

Production and development
The title of the episode was previously revealed on Amazon in early October 2013 as the title of an upcoming June 3, 2014 24-page panorama sticker storybook before its name was replaced with "New Episode 2014" on the Amazon listing in late October 2013.

On November 22, 2013, Meghan McCarthy wrote on the Hub Network's Twitter account "Project Runway has Heidi Klum but she's not nearly as harsh a critic as #MLPFIM Fashion Week judge Prim Hemline #MLPseason4".
