What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

Best Thing I Ever Ate's episode "More Than I Can Count!" highlighted Popina's house-made pasta, part of the seasonal Italian menu the Brooklyn restaurant is known for. Popina is an Italian restaurant on Columbia Street in the Columbia Street Waterfront District of Brooklyn. A check of the restaurant's own website, popinanyc.com, found it live with a functioning online-ordering system in a 2026-09-08 check, along with pages for private events, catering, a wine club, and gift cards. The site listed dinner service Wednesday through Sunday and weekend brunch on Saturday and Sunday, matching the hours carried in the restaurant's map listing, and gave a contact number of 718-222-1901, the same number in that listing. Popina's site also promotes a shop section selling pantry items and merchandise online.
