Tracking the NYC Restaurants in ‘And Just Like That...' Season 3, Episode 6
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.
Carrie definitely has a neighbor crush — she's spending a lot of time with Mr. British Biographer, even having a supper of mutton stew and malbec in his basement apartment on a rainy evening. 'Never had mutton before,' she muses. 'Tastes exactly like I imagine it would; it's very muttony.' Well put, Carrie. He says he wants to take her out for a 'proper meal,' but before that, they do the vulnerable writer thing and ask each other to read their works-in-progress. She later tells Aidan it was the 'worst meal of my entire life,' while he just makes bad Dunkin' puns (since the neighbor's name is Duncan, get it?) and later breaks the irreplaceable window of her home. Come. On.
It's another heavy episode too: Lisa's father has a stroke and dies (but also, wasn't he already dead before?); Harry opts to undergo surgery to treat his prostate cancer.
368 West 23rd Street, at Ninth Avenue, Chelsea
Lisa treks out to this diner 'all the way across the bridge' to meet up with the general manager of her father's theater, Lucille Highwater (played by Jenifer Lewis), and plan for his funeral in New Jersey. And actually, this diner is written to act as the Pink Tea Cup, a since-shuttered NYC soul food staple.
The staff knows them well, calling her Miss Lisa and asking if she wants 'the usual,' which turns out to be chicken and waffles. Over their big plates, Lisa asks for hot sauce from a server, but Lucille channels Beyoncé by whipping out a bottle of what looks like Crystal hot sauce, gifted by her father. They also get slices of Key lime pie, which Lucille describes as having 'seen better days.'
129 East 18th Street at Irving Place, Gramercy Park
The historic New York City bar makes its second appearance this season (see: episode five, where Carrie and Duncan go out for a meal). This time, it's an exterior scene. Miranda, Joy, and the pups are drinking outside on the patio before Brady meets them. Her son knows his mother well and questions why she's outside; she points to the dogs. See More:

5 shows like 'Duster' to watch after the season 1 finale
Created by science-fiction wunderkind (well, depending on who you ask) J.J. Abrams, "Duster" just wrapped up its first season on HBO Max with a banger of a finale that left a lot of room for more story, if the streaming service orders season 2. The crime thriller is an entertaining, action-packed ride that stars Josh Holloway as Jim Ellis, a getaway driver in 1970s Southwest America who gets pulled into a risky alliance with ambitious FBI agent Nina Hayes (Rachel Hilson). Her target: his boss Ezra Saxton (Keith David), the untouchable head of a sprawling criminal enterprise. Filled with tons of action and good old-fashioned detective work, "Duster" made for an exciting genre entry. While you wait to hear about season 2, here are some other great shows like "Duster" to watch next. Set against the same 1970s Southwestern backdrop as "Duster," "Dark Winds" is another great crime drama to sink your teeth into. It focuses on three officers of the Navajo Tribal Police in their efforts to keep the peace in a community that has been thoroughly neglected by the U.S. government, to the extent that they are beginning to see the rise of extremist groups. Based on a novel series by Tony Hillerman, "Dark Winds" cultivates a unique atmosphere that makes it a perfect watch for fans of psychological thrillers. AMC has aired three seasons, and a fourth season has been ordered. Watch seasons 1-2 on Netflix and all 3 seasons on AMC Plus We love a crime drama with a no-nonsense police woman desperately trying to take down the bad guys in her community. While Nina attempts to bust the leader of a local crime syndicate in "Duster," Mare (Kate Winslet) in Mare of Easttown is committed to investigating the murder of a local teen. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And there's no easy way to say this, but Mare's been going through a lot as we start off the show. She's recently divorced, her son died by suicide, she's embroiled in a custody battle with her late son's girlfriend for custody of her grandson, and public confidence in her abilities as a detective is at an all-time low, since another girl from their community has been missing for a year. And yet, Mare perseveres. With a stunning lead performance from Winslet, "Mare of Easttown" is an all-time great limited series. Watch on HBO Max Although "Godfather of Harlem," as the name suggests, takes place in New York City, some 3,000 miles away from the setting of "Duster," it features a similar crime lord as we see in Keith David's Saxton. Based on a true story, it stars Forest Whitaker as Bumpy Johnson, who, after serving 10 years in prison, returns home to Harlem in the early 1960s and goes toe-to-toe against the Italian mob to regain control of his old neighborhood. "Godfather of Harlem" received positive reviews from critics and ran for four seasons on MGM Plus. The fact that it was on this network rather than one with a bit more cachet among viewers is likely the cause of its lack of name recognition, but rest assured, it's a great watch. Watch on MGM Plus and seasons 1-3 on Hulu If you had told us 20 years ago that one of the best ever crime dramas on television would star Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey, we wouldn't have believed you. And yet here we are. The noirish, downbeat "True Detective" is a classic in its genre, revolving around two Louisiana policemen returning to a murder case that they had initially investigated 17 years earlier. With strong performances from both Harrelson and McConaughey, a moody production design, and a thoroughly compelling narrative, the first season of "True Detective" was one for the books. Although the anthology series couldn't live up to its legacy in later seasons, it still deserves credit for reinvigorating the genre on television. Watch on HBO Max When we look at crime dramas, nine times out of ten, they're tied up in some kind of drug trafficking situation. After all, this isn't the Old West, and no one's out here robbing stagecoaches anymore. That's certainly the case in "Hotel Cocaine," a stylish throwback to 1970s Miami, where cocaine was king. It stars Danny Pino as Roman Compte, a Cuban immigrant who runs the Mutiny Hotel, an establishment known for being a revolving door of drug lords, CIA operatives, and politicians. But Compte winds up in over his head when he's courted by both his family in the drug world and government agents who want him to work as a double agent. The guy's just trying to run a hotel, you know? Watch on MGM Plus

Growing Up Is Realizing Charlotte and Harry Goldenblatt Are the 'And Just Like That...' Love Story Aidan and Carrie Want to Be
Viewers of And Just Like That... have mixed emotions about the show, but the best part of it for me is Charlotte and Harry Goldenblatt Unlike other characters, the two feel the most like their Sex and the City versions And Just Like That... drops on HBO Max Thursdays at 9 p.m. ETFor a lot of Sex and the City fans, And Just Like That… hasn't quite struck the same chord as its predecessor. Whether it's the characters, the storylines or the tone, the reboot just hasn't lived up to the old show. It's certainly a grown-up version, as there are fewer brunches and more focus on family, but I find myself wondering where all the whimsical, unserious and complex characters I loved in the original series went. The super dramatic Carrie, hyper-romantic Aidan, and the bold Miranda, who unabashedly shared her opinion no matter what. All of them feel unrecognizable to me, with the exception of Charlotte (played by Kristin Davis) and Harry (played by Evan Handler) who, out of all the characters, seem to have kept their original quirky dynamic. I first noticed it in episode 1, season 3, when Charlotte's entire arc was based on her standing up for Mr. Burton, her bulldog, who had been falsely accused of assaulting another pup at the park. The other owner, Jane Hayes, alleged that Mr. Burton was off leash when he came after her Peanut and that the incident resulted in part of her dog's vertebrae being shattered. Jane was so incensed, she wanted Charlotte to pay for her vet bill and launched a smear campaign that saw the Goldenblatt's dogsitter quit, Mr. Burton ostracized from all the hot spots in the neighborhood and his Instagram flooded with unkind comments. Mr. Burton was cancelled and in typical Charlotte fashion, she spent the episode obsessing over the situation and defended her beloved dog to anyone who would listen. Finally, when she was ready to consider the fact that her Mr. Burton might not be the sweetheart she thought he was, he was redeemed, as it turned out Jane had confused him for another dog at the park. It's the type of frivolous storyline that is so Sex and the City-coded, you have to keep watching. Next came episode 5, when Harry had to tell his skittish wife that he had been diagnosed with cancer. Knowing that she was prone to freaking out, he made sure to break the news while they were on a nice walk with Mr. Burton around the neighborhood. As expected — and if we're being honest, totally warranted for a spouse finding out their person has prostate cancer — Charlotte took the news hard. She wanted to immediately put the kibosh on their planned glamping trip and she offered to quit her job to stay home and take care of Harry until he got better. Harry, being the super chill guy, shut down both ideas and assured her he'd likely be okay, given that prostate cancer had a high survival rate. He also made her promise she wouldn't share the news with anyone as he didn't want to be pitied. She agreed, but then spent the rest of the episode on edge, freaking out at the smallest things and totally not keeping it together. In Sex and the City, Charlotte was always the heart of the friend group. You wanted her there to organize a last-minute baby shower or arrange for an alarmingly large bouquet of flowers for your mother's funeral. Her relationship with Harry was always so light and funny to watch, as he was so laid back — almost too laid back — and she was so high-strung. When something bad happened, you wanted her there for emotional support. Those attributes seem to have carried over. In episode 6, when Lisa a.k.a LTW told her that her father had died, she was there. Not only did she prove to still be the friend who knows what's the right thing to say, but she again, gave us that comic relief by then blowing the entire thing out of proportion, in the most Charlotte way possible. The scene that followed showed her harranguing Harry, who was too enthralled by a baseball game to fully get the heart of her message. It gave Sex and the City season 6 episode 4, when she made her first Shabbat and she wanted it to be a big deal, but again, he just wanted to watch the game. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. I was in all my nostalgic feels. In a show that feels as though it's struggled to find its footing — even three seasons in — it's nice to have some semblance of the old Sex and the City. I get that And Just Like That… is supposed to be its own thing, but I think the reason most of us are tuning in is to see how those flawed characters we now love to hate have evolved. And while most of them have left me wanting more, the fact that Charlotte and Harry still have some of her old quirkiness is heartwarming. Where other characters seem to be grappling, these two have really stayed true to their essence and are so entertaining to watch.

AEW CEO Tony Khan explains how he's balancing streaming, cable TV, and social media to lure new wrestling fans
The pay-TV bundle is dying a long, slow death, and streaming is the prime suspect. Media analysts sometimes blame content providers for cannibalizing the cable bundle and accelerating its collapse by building streaming services that give consumers direct access to once-exclusive content. But for All Elite Wrestling, this hasn't been the case. AEW started simulcasting on HBO Max in January, just as rival WWE's "Raw" event on Monday nights moved exclusively to Netflix. The move has corresponded with a rebound in AEW's cable ratings in that span from their lows late last year. Through the second quarter, AEW's audience on traditional TV has grown 25% for "Collision" on TNT on Saturdays and 6.5% for "Dynamite" on TBS on Wednesdays, compared to the fourth quarter of 2024, according to Nielsen data. And those figures don't include viewership on HBO Max, which isn't public. Notably, AEW's cable viewership rose even more this year in the 25- to 54-year-old cohort that advertisers love, even as a streaming alternative emerged. All of this growth came as pay TV continued to wither, which affected sports leagues like the NHL and NBA. That has AEW founder and CEO Tony Khan especially fired up. "We've been picking up traction in these key demos," Khan told Business Insider. Still, he said that among 18- to 24-year-olds, "a lot of the growth is on streaming." While ratings are trending higher, AEW is still clawing its way back out of a slump. Viewership for "Collision" and "Dynamite" was down 9% and 12%, respectively, year over year. AEW has been locked in a battle with the category's behemoth, WWE, which previously poached two of its biggest stars: Cody Rhodes and CM Punk. Khan, a lifelong wrestling fan, spoke with BI about how streaming has jump-started AEW's growth and why he's not sweating the uncertainty surrounding the spinoff at Warner Bros. Discovery — his most valuable business partner. AEW everywhere, all at once In this cutthroat, crowded media landscape, Khan's game plan is for AEW to be everywhere — from in-person events, to traditional TV, to streaming, to social media, to YouTube. But from a monetization standpoint, not all platforms are equally valuable. AEW's most lucrative businesses are in-person events and pay-per-view events, where it's paid directly, though Khan said its backbone is its $185 million media deal with WBD across TBS, TNT, and HBO Max. "The lifeblood of AEW, really, is the partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery," Khan said. Social media and YouTube serve a different role: generating buzz and bringing in new viewers. AEW has to be where its fans are, though there's a risk that showing highlights for free will train audiences to follow the action in short form, instead of watching full matches on TV or in person. However, Khan thinks highlights on TikTok and YouTube drive higher demand for TV and events instead of eroding it — similar to how streaming matches coincided with a cable ratings bump. "People want to watch the full event in its entirety, but also consume highlights on digital," Khan said. "I think we found a great balance in that, and also offering access to a lot of the great classic matches in the AEW library to the fans has helped us drive a lot of viewership, as well." AEW must thread the needle between maximizing reach and ensuring that live matches and pay-per-view events "feel special," as Khan put it. That means giving enough to lure casual fans and newcomers to TBS, TNT, and HBO Max, without giving so much that they don't watch live. AEW streams pre- and post-shows live on YouTube for big matches. But some of AEW's rivals are going a step further by experimenting with livestreaming marquee events on YouTube, for free. WWE streamed its "Worlds Collide" event live on the platform in early June, and the NFL is hosting a regular-season game live on YouTube in September. As of now, Khan isn't following suit. The AEW CEO said he's firmly committed to TBS, TNT, and HBO Max, no matter what's happening at their parent company. Not splitting hairs WBD announced a long-awaited spinoff last month that will pull HBO Max away from TBS and TNT. Khan said the split shouldn't affect AEW, which reached a media deal with WBD last fall. "We have a great partnership with both sides," Khan said, adding that AEW is "very well entrenched" across the forthcoming Streaming & Studios and Global Networks companies. WBD's media rights deal with AEW is unaffected by the split, so HBO Max will continue to stream matches that air live on TBS and TNT. Regardless, a top media analyst thinks sports leagues like AEW should brainstorm alternatives for their next deals in light of the spinoff. "Without a broadcast network or a streaming platform (we are not counting Discovery+), it is hard to imagine sports leagues being excited to work with GLN [Global Linear Networks] going forward, unless they have no choice," Lightshed's Rich Greenfield wrote in a mid-June note. AEW has seen firsthand how HBO Max can effectively complement TBS and TNT. Once they belong to separate companies, that symbiosis could disappear. And while AEW could theoretically re-up with TNT Sports and find a separate streaming deal, Greenfield questioned that logic. "GLN could license its sports streaming rights to third-parties (assuming contracts allow it)" Greenfield wrote. "But then why would a sports rights holder not just choose a vertically-integrated platform to begin with?" Other analysts are less bearish, including Robert Fishman of MoffettNathanson. He wrote last month that "sports remains a key pillar to support affiliate fee stability in the years ahead" for the Global Networks business that will house TBS and TNT. Instead of wondering what the future holds for WBD's assets, Khan is focused on the present. The 100th episode of "Collision" airs Saturday night, and viewers can tune in on TNT — or Max.
