What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
Loring Place was an American restaurant in Manhattan's Greenwich Village, serving a seasonal, vegetable-forward dinner menu with weekend brunch. It was featured on the show, episode 'Yummy in the Middle' (S10E12). The restaurant operated on West 8th Street in New York City for nearly a decade. Before its closure, OpenStreetMap listing data showed the restaurant serving dinner Monday through Sunday and weekend brunch, with a Manhattan landline (212-388-1831) and online ordering through its own site. On 2026-09-08, Loring Place's own website (loringplacenyc.com) displayed a message stating the restaurant had 'closed this chapter' for its 8th Street location after nearly 10 years, thanking guests for their support and directing visitors to a sister restaurant, without giving an exact closure date. No independent news coverage of the closure was found.
