What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The Best Thing I Ever Ate's pilot episode featured Jane, a casual American bistro at the crossroads of the West Village, Greenwich Village, and SoHo known for brunch and dinner service. Jane opened in 2001, according to Tripadvisor's restaurant profile, and operated at 100 West Houston Street for nearly two decades. A Yelp listing for the restaurant, updated June 2025, is marked permanently closed, according to Yelp; before closing, the restaurant had accumulated more than 3,500 reviews there, reflecting its run as a longtime neighborhood fixture.

The restaurant's own Instagram account, @janerestaurant, posted a closure announcement saying it was closing "with a heavy heart," corroborating the closed listing. A check on 2026-09-08 found the restaurant's website unreachable, and Google's listing, checked the same day, marked the business permanently closed, consistent with both the Yelp listing and the restaurant's own announcement.
