I'm curious as to what happens if they have to shut them down for a failed inspection...
Do the people dining have to leave? Do they continue to serve those people eating despite the health issues? Are customers allowed to come in?
How does it work? Do they evacuate the premises?
Does the DOH link work for other people? I tried searching and couldn't find it.
If the DOH closes a restaurant during service, the restaurant has to ask all it's guests to leave.
Ugh...I love that place. Suddenly not so hungry now though. Damn it, YB.
I was once in this place and while having a cocktail at the bar, I saw a roach crawling out of the bottle shelf. I pointed it out to the manager and his only reply was: "It's New York City". You can figure it out!
Yes! Am glad that you was once there... I wonder if you actually react to that roach at that precise moment and walked out or you actually enjoyed the amazing cocktails YB provides and you are just having fun explaing your adventured in the internet... That only would mean that you have everything but courage... Congratulations you definitely sound convincent from your computer chair... Signed:CV
