What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
Best Thing I Ever Ate, Season 8, Episode 12
"Hamburger Heaven" featured Clinton Hall, a multi-level beer hall and bar in Manhattan's Financial District known for a wide craft-beer selection alongside a burger-forward pub menu, part of a small New York-area beer-hall group. The Washington Street location sits in the FiDi neighborhood near the World Trade Center site. According to Yelp, whose FiDi listing was updated in August 2026, the venue lists current operating hours with no closure notice on the page. Clinton Hall's own website, clintonhallny.com, continues to list the Washington Street address among its active locations, according to the site's locations page. A Facebook post from the venue's own page used the phrase "Closing Soon" without a date attached, a signal not corroborated by the more recently dated Yelp listing.
