High Risk

With just one inspection in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent visit was on Dec 7, 2023. The high risk label is a heads-up that the most recent visit didn't go well. The file hasn't been updated since Dec 7, 2023, so take the current picture with that in mind.

When inspectors have written things up, hot TCS food item not held at or above 140 °F has been the most frequent reason, cited one time.

Compared to other Manhattan restaurants (averaging 77), there's room to close the gap. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
