Tracking the NYC Restaurants in ‘And Just Like That...' Season 3, Episode 5
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.
Thank god: Carrie is back in New York, but still in weird relationship limbo with Aidan (again). But now on her home turf, she's experiencing that evergreen urban problem of cohabiting. First, she's got a basement tenant, Duncan (played by Jonathan Cake), who is back from his travels and immediately gets annoyed with Carrie's clacky heels (but really, no one should walk inside their homes with shoes on). She attempts to make nice by giving him a gift basket with goodies from the neighborhood, including tea from a local shop.
Miranda moves in with Carrie after dealing with an Airbnb neighbor blasting music, but it isn't working out well. Miranda is not the best roommate, eating Carrie's last yogurt and bananas and spilling sticky soda all over her fancy new table.
In the meantime, Charlotte is dealing with a heavier issue — it turns out Harry has prostate cancer. But instead of stewing in her worries, she, Lisa, and their respective families head out to glamp on Governors Island, where they make s'mores and croque-monsieurs.
23 Grand Street at Sixth Avenue, Soho
The ladies get brunch at the ModernHaus Soho restaurant. Someone orders a grain bowl (I think Charlotte), Seema the brassicas, and Carrie the goat cheese. They talk about Carrie's neighbor dilemma, when Charlotte rightly says that taking off your shoes is more 'sanitary.'
129 East 18th Street at Irving Place, Gramercy Park
Duncan almost accidentally burns down his apartment, but Carrie saves the day. To repay her, the two go out for dinner at one of New York's oldest bars. She eats the perfect meal of steak, fries, and wine. He shares that this was 'a rare meal out' for him; he usually makes stew at home and holes himself up while writing his next biography for six months. Could this be a blossoming friendship or even a relationship? We'll see!!! See More: Dining Out in NY

Katie Couric slams Lauren Sanchez's wedding style, calling it outdated and ‘tacky'
She was not impressed by the dress. Katie Couric slammed Lauren Sanchez's wedding style, bashing her gown and her hair in a scathing social media post. 'Welcome to the eighties — when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back,' she penned. The former 'Today' show host left the rude remark on Jack Schlossberg's Instagram post on Friday, the day Sanchez married Bezos in a lavish ceremony in Venice, Italy. Schlossberg, the son of Caroline Kennedy, reposted Sanchez's Vogue cover — where the former journalist donned her long-sleeved, corseted Dolce & Gabbana lace gown that took some 900 hours to make — with the caption, 'Like I said … vogue.' 3 Katie Couric slammed Lauren Sanchez's wedding look, which made the cover of Vogue. Vogue Couric wasted no time in jumping on the bandwagon, and an hour later, left the 'tacky' comment, to which Schlossberg replied, 'Let's bring back scrunchies,' a reference to the '80s hair accessory famously roasted on 'Sex and the City.' Others joined in on the attack, adding comments such as 'Spot on. Money can't buy you class' and 'Imagine being married to the one of richest men on the planet and still choosing a dress that's ugly as f—k.' 3 The former 'Today' host took to Instagram to call Sanchez's look 'tacky.' Getty Images for The Women's Media Center Some did defend the new bride's looks, however, and called for an end to the mean girl comments. 'I think she looks gorgeous, the dress is stunning and a surprise. Everyone leave her alone. Let her be happy,' one said. 'If the dress made her feel good on her day that's a beautiful thing,' another added. 3 Sanchez married Jeff Bezos in a lavish, star-studded ceremony in Venice, Italy. @laurensanchezbezos via REUTERS Others turned on Couric and her unnecessarily rude comment. 'I'm reading that many women say Lauren Sánchez Bezos lacks 'class.' Those same critics also lack 'class,' because an educated, intelligent, respectful, or rather, classy person doesn't go around criticizing or making fun of other people,' one scolded. Another pointed out that Couric may be lashing out because she feels slighted since she didn't make the wedding's star-studded guest list. 'I'm guessing you aren't invited, Katie lol,' they quipped.

Swedish House Mafia teases NYC return with cryptic Times Square billboard
Swedish House Mafia may be plotting a return to the Big Apple — and New Yorkers are already losing it. The iconic electronic dance music trio — Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso — sparked a frenzy Wednesday when the supergroup made a surprise announcement in Times Square: 'New York See You Soon. Swedish House Mafia.' 4 The Times Square billboard flashed during a livestream of the group's three-hour Stockholm set, where they debuted a new track, 'Wait So Long.' Getty Images for Atlantis The Royal Advertisement The message flashed on a billboard during a livestream of their three-hour set in Stockholm, where they debuted a new track, 'Wait So Long.' Just a week earlier, they'd wiped their Instagram clean and posted a shadowy photo of the three of them with the cryptic caption '3.0' — a move that racked up nearly 100,000 likes and marked what fans are calling a new era. A screenshot of the billboard's location — West 50th and Broadway — was then posted to the group's Instagram story, sending fans into a frenzy across TikTok, Reddit and EDM fan pages. 'I beg tell me when, I need to be there,' vowed one user on TikTok. Advertisement 4 The billboard's surprise debut during a Stockholm livestream lit up TikTok, where fans instantly began posting about their excitement — some even vowing to come out of 'retirement' if the group hits NYC. @dol1house/ X 'Pulling out of retirement just for them,' another added. Danielle Tourloukis, 24, a self-described 'huge fan' of Swedish House Mafia who lives in Murray Hill, told the Post that hearing the news gave her 'chills.' 'Can't wait to be dancing to this again,' she wrote in a TikTok from her account @itsdanitour, sharing a video of herself and two friends dancing in the streets of New York to Swedish House Mafia's 'One.' Advertisement 4 The group wiped their Instagram clean just days before the livestream and posted a shadowy photo with the caption '3.0,' racking up nearly 100,000 likes. Getty Images Despite the tease, the group hasn't announced any U.S. dates on their current tour, which has them headlining festivals across Europe. Their last NYC appearance was a surprise April 2024 set at Brooklyn Mirage. Formed in Stockholm in the late 2000s, the group remains one of the most recognizable names in EDM, with smash hits like 'Don't You Worry Child,' 'Save The World' and 'Miami 2 Ibiza.' They have sold out stadiums around the world — including Madison Square Garden in 2011. Advertisement 4 The group's current tour has them headlining festivals across Europe — but no U.S. dates have been announced, leaving NYC fans anxiously waiting. @mimimoments/TikTok The group split in 2013 after their farewell 'One Last Tour,' but reunited in 2018 and have since launched a new label, released their debut studio album 'Paradise Again' in 2022 and headlined festivals including Coachella.

My Favorite Movie Is Spicy and Mesmerizing -- And You Can Stream It for Free Right Now
There is only one movie that I wish I could erase from my memory simply to have the pleasure of watching it again for the first time. That film is Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Céline Sciamma's 2019 masterpiece of forbidden love, tension, drama and enough historical period reverie to make my costume-loving heart soar. I can count on one hand the number of times I've finished watching a film for the first time and immediately turned around to rewatch it again, and this film makes the cut. Best of yet, it streams for free on Kanopy, so seriously, what are you waiting for? Ok, fine. If you need a little more convincing, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a visually stunning, relevant and surprisingly modern film that absolutely brims with slow-burn passion. And that's before you throw in the breathtaking cinematography. From the moment I saw the movie as an undergraduate film student at UNC Chapel Hill, I've racked up at least a dozen viewings. And I'm hooked. The best option, in my not-so-humble opinion, is to watch free on Kanopy, but it's also available on HBO Max -- one of CNET's picks for best streaming service -- with a paid subscription or available to rent on Prime Video, but the easiest option is to watch free right now on Kanopy with your (also free) public library login or university ID credentials. Almost every scene in Portrait of a Lady on Fire looks like a masterpiece painting. Lilies Films/Hold-Up Films/Arte France Cinéma Set in 1770 Brittany, in northern France, Portrait of a Lady on Fire tells the story of Marianne, a middle-class painter commissioned by a countess to paint the wedding portrait of her daughter, Héloïse, a young woman forced to leave the convent to enter an arranged marriage with a Milanese nobleman. Opposing the marriage, Héloïse refuses to sit for any portrait, which would guarantee her marriage, so Marianne must produce the portrait in secret. Having already exhausted other painters, the Countess instructs Marianne to act as Héloïse's companion, accompanying her day to day while silently memorizing her features to paint in secret. Through these meetings, the two women form a friendship and eventually a romance that transcends boundaries of class and sexuality. Tragically, Marianne is forced to create the one object that will ensure the end of her blossoming relationship with Héloïse. Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel deliver engrossing and elegant performances. Lilies Films/Hold-Up Films/Arte France Cinéma Starring Noémie Merlant and Adèle Haenel, accompanied by an almost entirely female cast, the film is a powerfully acted LGBTQ+ romance that studies power, memory, passion and desire through the eyes of women. Despite its 18th century setting, the film unflinchingly examines modern themes of gender, class, sexuality and reproductive rights -- all of which suffocate under a repressive patriarchal society, yet flourish when those strict confines are removed. Noted as a feminist film that banishes the male gaze, reinterprets the classic Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, and subverts expectations of the master/muse relationship, Portrait of a Lady on Fire is a rare feminist triumph. With its nuanced themes, exquisite cinematography and emotionally resonant performances, it's a beautifully moving film and you're sure to have a profound and unforgettable cinematic experience. Or, if you're like me, you'll just sob in front of a theater full of strangers and not even care. Either way, you're in for a treat. (And while you're at it, I will probably be watching it for the umpteenth time.) Portrait of a Lady on Fire won the Queer Palm at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. Lilies Films/Hold-Up Films/Arte France Cinéma Portrait of a Lady on Fire was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival. The film lost that top honor to Bong Joon-ho's Parasite, but won the Queer Palm, becoming the first film directed by a woman to win the award. Sciamma also won the award for Best Screenplay at Cannes in 2019. Portrait of a Lady on Fire is just one of our CNET experts' favorite movies that's available to stream now.
