Tracking the NYC Restaurants in ‘And Just Like That...' Season 3, Episode 8

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 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).

We Were Liars Season 2: Renewal status, potential release date and everything we know so far

By Aman Shukla Published on July 26, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated July 26, 2025, 20:24 IST If you've just finished watching We Were Liars on Prime Video and are still staring at your screen in shock after that season 1 finale—same. It was emotional, twisted, and totally unexpected. And now, like the rest of us, you're probably wondering: Are we going back to Beechwood Island for another round of Sinclair family secrets? Let's talk about what's going on with season 2—because while there's no official answer yet, there's definitely some hopeful noise. Has We Were Liars Been Renewed for Season 2? As of now (end of July 2025), Prime Video hasn't made an official announcement about renewing We Were Liars for another season. The show only dropped on June 18, so it's still pretty fresh, and streaming platforms usually take a few weeks (sometimes longer) to see how a show is performing before giving it the green light. But here's the good news: it's doing really well. Like, number-one-in-over-20-countries well. And that kind of buzz doesn't go unnoticed. Even though there's no renewal yet, E. Lockhart—the author of the book the series is based on—recently said, 'I don't have any news to share about season two yet. [But] it's not a limited series!' That alone gives us hope. Add in the fact that the showrunners (Julie Plec and Carina Adly MacKenzie) have also shown interest in continuing the story, and yeah—it feels like something is definitely brewing. We Were Liars Season 2 Expected Cast The cast depends on where the story goes: Prequel Route ( Family of Liars ) : We'd likely see a younger cast playing teenage Penny, Carrie, and Bess in the 1987 setting. Mamie Gummer and Joseph Zada would probably return, since Carrie's talks with Johnny's ghost are central to the prequel. Cadence, Mirren, and Gat (Emily Alyn Lind, Esther McGregor, and Shubham Maheshwari) might sit this one out, as they don't appear in the book. : We'd likely see a younger cast playing teenage Penny, Carrie, and Bess in the 1987 setting. Mamie Gummer and Joseph Zada would probably return, since Carrie's talks with Johnny's ghost are central to the prequel. Cadence, Mirren, and Gat (Emily Alyn Lind, Esther McGregor, and Shubham Maheshwari) might sit this one out, as they don't appear in the book. Present-Day Story: Emily Alyn Lind would be back as Cadence, dealing with her post-island life. Mamie Gummer and Joseph Zada could return for more Carrie-and-Johnny ghost scenes. Caitlin FitzGerald (Penny), Candice King (Bess), and David Morse (Harris) might also pop up, but Mirren and Gat's ghosts might not if Cadence's story moves off the island. One catch: Joseph Zada's role in Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping might mess with his schedule, but his ghost character makes him a strong candidate to return either way. We Were Liars Season 2 Potential Release Date If Prime Video gives the go-ahead soon, the earliest we might see season 2 is sometime in 2026. The timeline kind of tracks—season 1 was ordered in 2023, filmed in mid-2024, and released in June 2025. So a similar schedule could be possible for a follow-up. But here's where it gets a little tricky: season 2 might not be a direct continuation. There's a chance they go the prequel route, which would mean a different cast and storyline (and probably more time to film). On the flip side, if they choose to pick up from the present-day story—or align with Lockhart's upcoming companion novel, We Fell Apart (releasing in November 2025)—we might be looking at a 2026 release, especially if production kicks off soon after the book drops.

The D.C. Restaurant Openings to Know This July

This is Eater's guide to all the new restaurants, bars, and cafes that have opened this month. If there's an opening in your neighborhood that we've missed, let us know at dc@ July 29 Downtown: Barbouzard – which means 'secret agent' in French – brings a lauded chef's longstanding recipes, bespoke music, and late-night aspirations to the busy corner of 17th and K Street NW on Tuesday, July 29. French American chef and partner Cedric Maupillier showcases his South of France education and upbringing across Barbouzard's plates, highlighting the elegance of the Riviera and the rest of the vast Mediterranean coast. The menu features grilled fish and seafood, plenty of vegetable dishes, seafood towers, and caviar (martinis), along with a short list of meats, steak-frites, and pasta. The 6,493-square-foot restaurant also houses a central DJ booth and stage for live piano, sax, guitar, and violin performances. Weekend hours extend until 1 a.m. 1700 K Street NW July 25 Gordon Ramsay's new Backyard burger. Gordon Ramsay Street Burger Penn Quarter: Celebrity chef and television personality Gordon Ramsay's burger chain lands stateside for the first time on Friday, July 25, on the lower level of his Street Pizza location on 7th Street. Street Burger's debut location in D.C. puts a twist on patties, serving 'American-style' smash burgers that you won't currently find at any of the nine U.K. locations. The five-ounce double smash patties comes in many forms, from the familiar In-N-Out style burger, called 'Next Level,' with caramelized onions, pickles, and a spicy aioli to a Hell's Kitchen-inspired burger with spicy tomato chutney, crispy onions, and jalapeños. There are also fried chicken sandwiches, vegan burgers made with harissa-spiced vegetables, buckets of chicken wings, $5 draft beers, and loaded fries on the new menu. 507 7th Street NW July 24 Rosslyn: Next-gen food hall Wonder opened its first Virginia location on Thursday, July 24, serving up dishes from iconic restaurants around the nation, like Brooklyn's Di Fara Pizza, Tejas Barbecue from Texas, and Marcus Samuelsson's Streetbird. Wonder recruits superstar chefs to lend their names and recipes, as well as co-develop exclusive concepts just for them, such as Greek-inspired Chios Taverna from celebrity chef Michael Symon in Rosslyn. The kitchen churns out dishes from 20 eateries in all, allowing diners to try an array of cuisines in the small dining area or delivered straight to their front door by Wonder drivers. The food hall touts a door-to-door delivery time of 30 minutes or less. 1771 N. Pierce St., Unit 100, Rosslyn, Virginia July 20 Georgetown: Yala Greek Ice Cream's founder Chrys Kefalas brought D.C. a unique taste of Rhodes — the Greek isle where his family is from — on Sunday, July 20 (National Ice Cream day). Relying on farm-fresh cream and premium ingredients sourced from the Mediterranean, opening flavors range from Greek classics like baklava and cherry studded with chocolate chunks to familiar American favorites like rocky road and cookies and cream. A strawberry vegan sorbet and several frozen Greek yogurt options are also available. Color-changing spoons are a whimsical touch in a bright blue-and-white Georgetown shop that speaks to Greece's flag. 3143 N Street NW Related The Inside Scoop on the Greek Ice Cream Shop Coming to Georgetown July 18 Dupont Circle: Selva started serving up Central and South American classics — from Peruvian chicken and continent-spanning ceviches, to playful takes on internationally beloved dishes like patatas bravas made with crispy bites of yuca — on Friday, July 18. Executive chef Giovanni Orellana is creating dishes inspired by his birthplace of El Salvador and his decades-long culinary career working at Peruvian, Italian, and Mexican restaurants. Mayflower Club owner Antonis Karagounis is behind the new restaurant, which is his first sit-down spot since opening Rewind Diner in 2018. The verdant green artwork and velvet furniture make the cozy restaurant – named after the Spanish word for 'jungle' – the perfect place to have a filling meal and ease into a night out, with plenty of tasting flights of liquors distilled across the Americas and the Mayflower Club on the floor below. 1223 Connecticut Avenue NW July 17 Old Town: Thompson Restaurants brought its Southern-styled brunch chain Milk & Honey to the heart of Old Town Alexandria on Thursday, July 17. The two-story space that formerly housed Thompson's Hen Quarter features two full-service bars, a large private dining room, and seating for up to 188. 801 King Street, Alexandria, Virginia Foggy Bottom: Taco Cat, an adorable, all-day taco shop from vet D.C. restaurateur Tim Ma, quietly sauntered into Western Market food hall in mid-July. An unapologetically fun menu loops in lots of global flavors into tacos, burritos, and tortas. Along with classic breakfast tacos on corn tortillas, the morning menu also includes the levanta muertos ('wake the dead') ceviche packed with shrimp, cucumbers, red onions, tomato dressing, hot sauce, avocado, and Tajín. For the ultimate wake-up call, there's an option to add a tequila shot for $4. Open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue NW July 14 Clarendon: Around since 2003, New York City's vegetable-loving cafe Westville debuts its first location outside of its Big Apple-area home base on Monday, July 14. Located at the Crossing Clarendon, Westville specializes in char-grilled turkey burgers, truffle fries, and 20-plus rotating market veggies like crispy Brussels sprouts and pesto mashed potatoes, plus veggie chili and carrot cake for lunch, dinner, and brunch. A full bar slings wines and beers from the DMV and home-made cocktails like a strawberry Aperol spritz and blood orange paloma. 2800 Clarendon Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia Westville's menu goes heavy on fresh vegetables. July 11 National Landing: D.C. hospitality brothers Ian and Eric Hilton (H2 Collective) opened all-day French brasserie Bar Colline on Friday, July 11. Located next to Amazon HQ2, Bar Colline is their massive metropolitan answer to the charming original (Cafe Colline), which debuted in 2020 in an Arlington suburb. H2's longtime chef Brendan L'Etoile imports its top-selling steak frites dunked in bearnaise, croque madame, and duck confit. A 50-foot wraparound bar slings spritzes, local beers, and wines, with daily happy hour that includes $6 red, white, and rosé pours from 3-6 p.m. 269 19th Court S., Arlington, Virginia Related A Supersized French Bistro Swings Open Near Amazon HQ2 Woodley Park: Ethiopian-owned Yours Cafe debuted in mid-July with coffee drinks made from beans roasted in-house, plus breakfast and brunch served all day daily (7 a.m. to 7 p.m.).

Ordering from screens or the Wonder app, diners can order everything from a pizza from Brooklyn's famous Di Fara or a Samuelsson-certified fried chicken sandwich on one tab. Wonder's culinary team makes everything, from Mexican or barbecue to Greek pastries, on-site. The chef-lauded food hall will soon embark on a local expansion tear, with locations planned for the West End, College Park, Cleveland Park, Reston, Franconia, and Navy Yard. 1925 14th Street NW Union Market: Baltimore-born Crepe Crazy DMV brings its sweet and savory crepes down to D.C. with a new stall inside Union Market. 1309 5th Street NE July 1 Union Market: Shilling Canning Company's cult-favorite fried chicken finds a standalone home inside Union Market. Chef Reid Shilling's new fast-casual venture Fancy Ranch sources all foul from family-owned Amish farms in Indiana and Pennsylvania. The casual bar is serving up white or dark meat with a cornbread waffle slathered in maple butter and fun sides like aji verde potato salad, classic slaw, or slow-cooked beans. Make your chicken even fancier by adding on caviar and a glass of Champagne. Fancy Ranch's long-term pop-up residency lasts through September. 1309 5th Street NE H Street: Chef Tim Ma is at it again, this time with an all-you-can-eat sushi spot for H Street NE. Sushi Sato, located in the recently closed Bronze space, offers endless nigiri, rolls, and izakaya dishes for $55-$75 (with a two-hour time limit).

Did Carrie and Aidan Break Up on 'And Just Like That'? Here's What Producers Say

[Major spoilers ahead for this week's episode of And Just Like That.] Okay, the And Just Like That... writers room must be reading the commentary online, because after bringing Aidan back last season only to put he and Carrie in a long distance relationship this season, they have decided to break them up after all. In this week's episode, Aidan becomes wary of Carrie's relationship with Duncan, and that starts a whole discussion about how he still doesn't trust her after all these years. It's a devastating argument to watch, and at the end of it, they decide to break up because Carrie admits that she's no longer "100 percent" in the relationship. Executive producer Elisa Zuritsky told TVLine that the decision to break them up was actually made pretty early in the crafting of the season. 'It wasn't a fiery debate in the room. I think it really came down to the way the previous season ended, with Aidan's family proving to be such an obstacle,' she said. She also said the team 'really did want to play it out in the real world and think of [Carrie and Aidan] as real people, and take them out of the fantasy Disney prince and princess happy ending that we were kind of playing with in season 2. It did feel like too much to ask of those two people, especially with their baggage.' Fellow executive producer Julie Rottenberg agreed, saying that it was not realistic for their relationship to move forward considering everything that's happened. 'I think we all knew their problems were systemic enough that they would not survive,' Rottenberg says. As devastating as this is, does this finally mean we'll get to see single Carrie dating around? A girl can dream!!
