Finding a clean restaurant will be as easy as ABC under a Health Department rule passed Tuesday.
Starting in July, eateries will be required to prominently post letter grades based on health inspections, under a measure the Board of Health passed, 6 to 2.
“The grade in the window will give you a sense of how clean the kitchen is, and it will give every restaurant operator an incentive to maintain safe, sanitary conditions,” said Health Commissioner Thomas Farley.
Restaurants that earn an A will be inspected annually while those that garner a C will be visited four times a year.
Restaurant owners argue that health officials want to embarrass them, as well as collect more fines for the city’s coffers. They are considering a lawsuit.
Said Mayor Bloomberg: “I think that I would prefer to eat at a restaurant with a grade A.”
Restaurants can protest their grades through an administrative hearing.
easy as ABC
very neat, thanks Bloomberg, I am so into this ABC thing.
Now we’ll know where NOT to eat
