What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode featured Chinatown Brasserie's dim sum and Cantonese-French fusion menu, served with cocktails in a subterranean dining room near Lafayette and Great Jones streets in NoHo. Cititour and Time Out New York both once filed the restaurant under their Manhattan dining guides. A Yelp listing updated 2026-07 marks Chinatown Brasserie permanently closed, and a separate Foursquare listing for the address is tagged 'Now Closed.' Time Out New York's own page for the restaurant now carries the heading 'Chinatown Brasserie (CLOSED).' None of the listings found give an exact closure date or name the address's current tenant. The exact street number for the former restaurant could not be confirmed in this pass, so its location here is recorded at the Lafayette Street and Great Jones Street intersection rather than a single building.
