Whitney Port3

Logging the long hours as she embarks on an all-new season, Whitney Port was spotted strolling down the street in the West Village on Thursday (August 27).

Looking cute in a colorful top with jean shorts, the MTV reality star ventured off for lunch with a friend at Sant Ambroeus while filming scenes for “The City”.

As for the new season, which kicks off September 29th, Liz Gateley, Senior V.P. of MTV and executive producer, tells, “A lot has changed in The City.”

“We shifted the focus of the show significantly from a relationship drama to a workplace drama. [Olivia Palermo] has a new job and an amazing new boss at Elle. Whitney Port is focused a lot more on her work now that she’s single.”

“Kelly Cutrone – who I love – takes on a much bigger role in the show. The show feels much more like a reality Devil Wears Prada. Our whole shooting style changed. You’ll see much more action and less people sitting and talking. There are fireworks on the highly exaggerated jobs constantly. It’s very exciting and fun to watch what it’s like to work in the world of New York fashion.”
