High Risk NYC Grade: Pending

The inspection history at Spice is still short, with only two visits logged. The newest entry in the record is dated Jul 21, 2025. Diners may want to take note: high risk reflects issues that a health inspector considered important.

Recent inspections have turned up more issues than earlier ones, averaging around eight violations lately compared to roughly five violations before.

The pattern that stands out is “establishment is not free of harborage or conditions”, which has been cited two times.

Spice's latest score of 50 falls below the Manhattan average of 77. There are enough flags in the record to merit a second thought.
