What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
Extra Virgin was featured for its Mediterranean and seafood-driven menu at a West Village restaurant on West 4th Street, a longtime neighborhood spot known for weekend brunch and a wine-forward dinner list. A Yelp business listing, updated April 2026, marks Extra Virgin as permanently closed. The restaurant's actual website, extravirginnewyork.com, could not be reached when checked on September 8, 2026, returning a connection error rather than live content, consistent with the Yelp listing. A separate URL checked earlier, extravirginrestaurant.com, does not correspond to the business's real domain and returned no usable content either. No source in this record documents a specific closure date or names a successor business at 259 West 4th Street.
