About the inspection results

Outside New York City there is no official restaurant grade, and we don't make one. Where shown, the date and counts are from the New York State Department of Health's latest inspection on file (health.data.ny.gov), records through Sep 24, 2026. In NYSDOH's words:

“Any use of this data to develop a restaurant grading system is not supported or endorsed by the New York State Department of Health.”

Any analyses, interpretations or conclusions here are ours, not NYSDOH's. Places are never ordered by these counts.
