What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's "Breakfast Paradise" episode featured Petite Abeille, a Belgian bistro in New York City known for dishes such as moules-frites and Belgian waffles. Petite Abeille operated a small group of casual Belgian restaurants around Manhattan, including a Tribeca location at 412 Greenwich Street. According to Tribeca Citizen (2015-02-18), that Tribeca location was closing. The address is now occupied by L'Abeille, an unrelated French restaurant; Yelp's listing for L'Abeille, updated 2026-09, shows it actively operating at 412 Greenwich Street. Separately, Yelp's own listing for Petite Abeille's Flatiron-district location at 44 West 17th Street is listed as closed, updated 2026-07, indicating the chain no longer operates any New York locations under its original name. No current Petite Abeille website or active social media presence confirming ongoing operations was found. The business featured in the episode is therefore no longer operating in New York City.
