What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The episode featured Ferrara, a Little Italy bakery and espresso bar known for cannoli, other Italian pastries, and coffee. According to the bakery's own website (ferraranyc.com), the business describes itself as operating continuously since 1892, now run by a fifth generation of the same family. The Wayback Machine recorded ferraranyc.com returning a working page on 2026-08-28. Direct attempts to load the live site on 2026-09-08 to confirm the current street address returned server errors, so an exact address could not be verified within this session's research; the bakery's long-standing Little Italy location was not independently re-confirmed here and should be checked in a follow-up pass.

Food Paradise's "Most Valuable Plates" episode (S18E3) featured Ferrara Bakery & Cafe, a New York City Italian bakery and cafe on Grand Street operating, per its own site, since 1892. A direct check of ferraranyc.com on 2026-09-08 returned the site loading normally, with a 2025 copyright notice, a working nationwide-shipping and ordering system, and posted hours running until 10 p.m. on Thursdays, with table service ending a half hour earlier. Google Places lists the business as operational at 195 Grand St, matching the address on file for this business's existing database record.
