Tracking the NYC Restaurants in ‘And Just Like That...' Series Finale, Season 3, Episode 12
is a born-and-raised New Yorker who is an editor for Eater's Northeast region and Eater New York, was the former Eater Austin editor for 10 years, and often writes about food and pop culture. And just like that, HBO Max's Sex and the City sequel series returns for its third and FINAL 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 and fall 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, which is tonight (!). And we're saying it now: there will be spoilers ahead. Episode 12, 'Party of One ' This is the end, my friend. We're at the SERIES FINALE of And Just Like That… There are perhaps too many loose threads to tie up: will Carrie stay solo or start dating a random dude? Will Miranda and Joy work through their issues? Will Harry be able to have sex with Charlotte? Will Samantha come back? How many pies will be consumed during the Thanksgiving dinner? We get some answers to some of these questions — the on-the-nose revision to Carrie's epilogue of her novel says it all: 'She was on her own.' Elsewhere, we have a pretty wedding dress fashion show as Seema ponders if she wants to get married; Lisa exchanges vows with Herbert even though he's going through a tough time; Charlotte sleeps with a post-cancer-surgery Harry; and Miranda and Joy show up for each other for their respective important moments of life, while Miranda deals with a gross clogged toilet (why?). But before we go, I am pleased that the finale is paying homage to the tradition of Thanksgiving episodes taking place in New York City. See: Gossip Girl, Friends, How I Met Your Mother. The November holiday brings people together amidst drama. In this series finale, Brady is in charge of Thanksgiving dinner at Miranda's, but Carrie has to watch the roasting turkey (unsuccessfully) while he hunts for cucumbers, brown rice, and seaweed for the mother of his child. We also see him blending mashed potatoes while holding up a carton of milk. Alas, the episode skips straight over the actual dinner. So here we go: 138-23 39th Avenue, near Union Street, Flushing Gasp: Carrie Bradshaw ventures out into Queens to dine solo and chooses this hot pot restaurant because, as she explains to the host, 'I was just walking by and it looks so interesting.' What do you think she was doing in Flushing? Carrie crosses paths with a robot server and says 'excuse me' to it. She's set up in a booth and isn't sure how or what to order from the tablet menu (I suppose the restaurants she's frequented have only had paper menus, even during contactless COVID times). Carrie is scrolling through the menu when a (human) server comes by, and she asks for recommendations. The server says spicy broth, shrimp, and bok choy, but then he says to pick two (which actually isn't clear, two what?). He leaves, and a host comes by, lugging a hefty, oversized stuffed tomato boy creature named Tommy Tomato, and places him on the other side of her booth. Carrie is rightly bewildered, but the host explains it's so she doesn't have to eat alone. I don't know about Carrie, but I will fight anyone who gets in Tommy Tomato's way. Later on, Carrie recounts her 'lunch with a side of shame,' to which Charlotte responds that they should leave a review on Yelp. Later on, Carrie calls it her 'lunch with a doll' and wonders whether she can accept being alone. 35-01 36th Street at 35th Street, Astoria Miranda is clearly fond of Mexican restaurants, isn't she? This time, she and Steve are dining at the Queens Mexican restaurant to discuss their son and the forthcoming grandkid. They ordered enchiladas suizas and enchiladas rosa. They talk about Thanksgiving, but Steve isn't coming because he doesn't want it to become a thing since Brady is still mad at him for his outburst, Brady's preference for oat milk, and the fact that they're going to have a grandkid. 401 East 90th Street, near First Avenue, Upper East Side If you get to know me IRL, you'll learn that I love pie! Okay, so last week, I couldn't identify the pie bakery in that episode, and many helpful people wrote in to share their guesses as to what the mysterious-to-me pie shop was. It turns out — thanks to a single tipster who got it right and the helpful awning with an address pictured in this episode — the Petite Pie Place is Michaeli's Bakery (which shared the news on its Instagram). Other potential options included Petee's Pies (which I was digging into, but nixed) and Little Pie Company, since Sarah Jessica Parker is a noted fan of the bakery (perhaps this chosen fake name was in homage to it, too). But also, the Israeli bakery does not sell pie. Anyway, we see Carrie leave the bakery with the pies she preordered, wearing an epic magenta dress with a sequined top, fluffy skirt, and amazing hat. She's the pie fairy, dropping the sweets at her friends' places. First, the Charlotte household gets a pumpkin-looking pie; then Lisa's family gets an apple crisp pie. Next is the 'gluten-free imposter' for Seema, in a perfectly timed car-to-car exchange, and Anthony with his chocolate cream pie. Finally, she arrives at Miranda's place with the rest of the order. We end the episode with Carrie back in her apartment with her pie as she blares Barry White and sings and dances while digging into her sweet amidst a montage of the other ladies eating their pies with their loved ones. Giuseppe smashes the cream pie in Anthony's face, but they laugh and kiss about it; Charlotte et. al. eat pie while looking at Rock's play photos; Miranda and Joy dig into the good pumpkin pie; and Herbert enjoys a second piece of pie while telling Lisa she can relax. And just like that, we're done with the Sex and the City spinoff. It wasn't a wholly satisfying ending — but here's hoping Carrie finds peace with herself and Shoe the kitten.
