What the source shows: Yelp and a 2018 Eat The World NYC post both show the restaurant as closed, and a 2024 renovation article describes work underway at the correct Brooklyn address, which the packet's Google Places match had misidentified as a Manhattan toy store.

What happened after Food Paradise?

Food Paradise's 'Passport on a Plate' episode featured Masha and the Bear, a Russian restaurant at 771 Grand Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, that served Eastern European dishes and live entertainment in a dining room styled after old-world Russian decor. Eat The World NYC reported the restaurant's closure in a May 2018 post, and Yelp's page for the business is marked permanently closed, with photos and reviews last updated in August 2026. North Brooklyn Dispatch reported in August 2024 that renovation work was underway at 771 Grand Street, suggesting a new restaurant could eventually take over the space, though no source located named a new tenant or reopening date. The packet's Google Places record for this line had matched an unrelated Manhattan toy store rather than the Brooklyn address; the correct location was confirmed through the sources above and geocoded independently via the Census Bureau.
