What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
"The Best Thing I Ever Ate" featured Wafels & Dinges for its Belgian liege waffles topped with dinges — sweet or savory add-ons like spiced whipped cream, speculoos spread, or fried chicken — a menu that grew out of founder Thomas DeGeest's original street cart. The brand now operates a storefront at 392 Columbus Avenue on Manhattan's Upper West Side, near the American Museum of Natural History, alongside a separate cart at Broadway and 66th Street. According to Yelp, whose page for the Columbus Avenue location was updated in August 2026, Wafels & Dinges continues to take orders and receive customer reviews there. The Broadway and 66th Street cart is listed separately on Yelp with its own weekday hours. Neither listing shows a closure notice, and the business's own site, wafels.com, still lists the Columbus Avenue address as an active order-ahead location.
