"The episode's sole restaurant appearance is a massive space from chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten at 425 Park Avenue. Carrie is on a lunch date with Giuseppe’s mom, Gia — Carrie graciously sits in the chair while letting Gia sit on the plush banquette. Carrie is eating some 'huge lettuce thing' while they talk about dating someone with kids; Gia tells Carrie to be herself, which means Carrie should date Duncan. The scene uses the roomy, plush seating and upscale lunch setting to foreground this interpersonal conversation." - Nadia Chaudhury
