And just like that, HBO Max’s Sex and the City sequel series returns for its third season. And Just Like That… brings back our long-time New Yorkers Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte (Kristin Davis), as well as relative newcomers Seema (Sarita Choudhury) and Lisa (Nicole Ari Parker), to our televisions and laptops. What is summer without our gals talking candidly about sex, making bad puns, and dining and drinking around the city?
Like previous seasons, Eater will be tracking where the gang is eating across New York City, from brunch sessions to romantic dinners to cocktail dates. This guide will be updated weekly when each episode airs on Thursdays at 9 p.m., leading up to the finale. And we’re saying it now: there will be spoilers ahead.
Episode 8, “Happy Ever After
It’s Aidan’s turn to visit Carrie, and he’s staying with Carrie for a couple of days. He’s clearly jealous of the downstairs neighbor, whom he still calls Dunkin’ Donuts. Carrie is adamant that the couple doesn’t hang out with Duncan, her guilt from the previous episode seeping into this one.
Miranda questions her sobriety over a special bottle of Ungava gin from Quebec, but ultimately decides she doesn’t want to drink. Charlotte’s prepping for an art show that depicts what happiness is at various ages, and discovers her vertigo is back. Lisa is work-flirting with her hottie editor, attempting to coin the phrase “flirking.” There’s also a scene where ripe papaya and kale salads are stand-ins for hot and boring sex. Seema is having fun with Carrie’s gardener, but realizes they are very different.
118 Greenwich Avenue, at West 13th Street, West Village
Seema goes out for a pre-art gallery opening date with Carrie’s hot gardener, Adam, at this New American restaurant. While they sip their espresso from their table in the middle of the dining room, they watch in horror as someone at a booth puts on deodorant out in the open (that’s what restrooms are for?). Seema learns that Adam is very hippie and that his last name is Karma (for real).
