Tracking the NYC Restaurants in ‘And Just Like That...' Season 3, Episode 11
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 11, 'Forgot About the Boy '
Before we proceed: This will be our penultimate restaurant recap since And Just Like That... is, and just like that, ending. Thanks for the memories and innuendos, the ladies of the Sex and the City sequel.
And now, this second-to-last-ever episode of the series takes Carrie on a nostalgic and existential tour through her life. She's told people don't like women being alone, according to her book agent (which is very obvious foreshadowing of the finale's plot). She's also thinking about how she lives in a huge Gramercy Park house by herself and even goes to revisit her old Upper East Side apartment.
Le Petite Pie
Unknown
For the life of me, I cannot figure out what this pie bakery is in New York City. My gut believes that it's an existing bakery with a different name (much like how Cafe Boulud was renamed the fictional Pelican earlier this season). Alas, if any reader can help me figure it out, I'll eat a slice of pie in your honor.
Anyway, Carrie is ordering a lot of pies for Thanksgiving — her go-to gift — including classic cherry, pecan, two pumpkins, lemon meringue, blueberry, apple crisp, chocolate cream, and, what she describes as later, a 'gluten-free something pretending to be a pie.' A customer overhears and interrupts her, saying that she thought that pie orders were closed. The staffer responds, saying that Carrie can do anything she wants because she's a loyal customer and accuses the interrupter of being just a 'two croissants a week at best' person.
As Carrie walks away from the bakery, she talks to Miranda on the phone, who says that Carrie ordered way too many pies and that it's 'two people per pie.' Carrie asks, 'Is that the incorrect pie-to-person ratio? I don't bake.' The actual correct answer is one pie per person, because life is short.
283 West 12th Street at West Fourth Street, Greenwich Village
Seema really, really, really loves chef Angie Mar's upscale French restaurant — this is its third appearance this season. This time, she's back at the bar with Carrie, sipping cocktails. Seema wants to pay for drinks since she's backing out of the Thanksgiving dinner party at Miranda's, Carrie refuses to accept, and insists she'll pay. Seema complains about going to Thanksgiving with her hot gardener boyfriend Adam (they had just said 'I love you' to each other) and his family, bemoaning that 'they're vegan and gluten-free' and that she's 'passing up a delicious drumstick for Tofurkey.'
Now we're cued up for the series finale of And Just Like That… next week, which will presumably take place on Thanksgiving, full of pies and Harry's favorite focaccia-oyster-fresh sage stuffing he's fond of, apparently.
