What happened after Food Paradise?
On 'Eat, Drink, Play,' the episode featured Penthouse 808, the sixth-floor rooftop lounge and restaurant atop the Ravel Hotel in Long Island City, Queens, highlighting its retractable roof and panoramic views of the East River and the Manhattan skyline. The 9,500-square-foot space functions as a restaurant and wedding venue by day and a club with guest DJs by night, according to the venue's own event site, ravelevents.com. Current listings brand the business as The Penthouse rather than Penthouse 808. A Yelp listing updated June 2026 and an OpenTable page updated in 2026 both show the venue currently operating, with thousands of accumulated reviews between them. Google Places lists its business status as operational. No closure or relocation has been reported since the episode aired.
