This episode is mostly taken up by Big’s ugly and sparse funeral at the Greene Naftali Gallery and not so much on the streets of New York City, which, as everyone knows, is the show’s other leading lady.Ĭarrie does however stare wistfully at a couple eating on the patio of the East Pole, located on the Upper East Side. In Manhattan, there are plenty of bars to get lost in and most of them, fortunately, are not next to Times Square. How nice for them, their fellow patrons, and the staff of “Clee.” Smith’s Bar and Grill, 701 8th Avenueīefore her first class at Columbia where she’s enrolled to get her master’s degree in “Human Rights,” Miranda stops for a drink at this theater district mainstay and while she’s there, we’re introduced to an exciting new character: Miranda’s Alcoholism! She tries to order a glass of chablis at 10:45 a.m., which, yes, is pretty early for wine, but more concerning is why she’d stop at a bar on 8th and West 44th Street, which is nowhere near her townhouse in Brooklyn or Columbia University, which is all the way up on West 114th Street. Also, great news! In this alternate reality, COVID is over. The real star of this meal is Carrie’s stupid little Robin Hood hat, which she is not pulling off nearly as well as that sexy cartoon fox. In fact, we’re reintroduced to Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte as they wait for a table at Clee, a fictional restaurant that was filmed in non-fictional restaurant the Whitney Cafe, part of the Whitney Museum. Clee, a.k.a the Whitney Cafe, 99 Gansevoort Streetīut before that, there are some restaurants. This premiere was obviously dominated by one major controversy, which has little to do with food and that’s Carrie not attempting CPR or calling 911 as Big flopped around on the floor of their gigantic shower and died. Here, we’ll be charting every restaurant, bar, and cafe that makes a featured appearance on And Just Like That. Want to pretend like it’s 2004 again? Well, throw on some low-rise jeans and Manolos and hit the town (masked and boosted, or better yet, maybe just in your imagination).

No pandemic or death of a loved one by Peleton ( for the best, it seems) will stop Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte - sans Samantha, as actor Kim Cattrall who declined to return to the series due to friction with lead and executive producer Sarah Jessica Parker - from dining across the city. Bars and restaurants on the brink of doom, sure, but they’re hanging on all the same. Bisexuality can no longer be written off, as Carrie once did, as a “layover to Gaytown.”īut still, there are bars and restaurants. The lavish lifestyle demonstrated by the series’ main ladies has taken on a grotesqueness, especially following the Trump presidency, which further laid bare the inequities inherent in capitalism. We’ve experienced hurricanes, market crashes, and a deadly pandemic that we’re still contending with. The New York we enter in And Just Like That., the Sex and the City reboot on HBO Max, is not the New York we left in 2004. City Bakery, where Carrie re-encounters “the face girl” Nina Katz, has also permanently closed its doors, denying the city its top-rate chocolate chip cookies. The women’s favorite hangout, Coffee Shop in Union Square, closed in 2018 and has been replaced by a Chase bank. Many of the restaurants featured on the original show, which ran from 1998 to 2004 and somehow never addressed 9/11, have long been closed.

They transported women, mostly huddled masses from across the middle America, all yearning to breathe free and drink a cosmopolitan cocktail at the same bars frequented by Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte, the characters of HBO’s Sex and the City.īut much like the once ubiquitous “going out” top, such tours have become a rare (albeit ongoing) sight. There was a time long ago when gargantuan tour buses - splashed with pink and stock images of girlfriends sipping on cocktails - roved the isle of Manhattan.
