What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?
The 'Smoky' episode (S5E3) featured Desnuda, a wine bar and cevicheria in Manhattan's East Village built around South American-style ceviche and small plates served alongside a curated wine list. A June 2013 post on the blog The Political Foodie described the restaurant's intimate bar seating and seafood-forward menu not long after it opened on East 7th Street. According to a Yelp business page updated 2026-07, the listing marks Desnuda permanently closed. Foursquare's page for the same address is also labeled 'Now Closed,' a second signal consistent with the Yelp listing. No dated news coverage naming a specific closure date was found in available sources, and no statement from ownership turned up. The East Village storefront that once housed Desnuda does not show current activity on either listing platform checked for this update.
