DOH inspections for Greenpoint
Our house is not a bunch of sissies; I have travelled in Africa, India and Southeast Asia, and I will eat from street vendors judiciously. However, the DOH results in Greenpoint continue to make us sad, and we quietly have to avoid some favorites and go back to some former classics that had been retired from overuse - and vice versa.
I also find that the attitude of the staff at the restaurant makes a difference to me when I review the DOH rating. If it is someone who I feel like is making all best efforts, I might overlook an infraction or two. I'm not talking about things like not having a choking poster up, I'm talking the more egregious errors. However, if you've been a jerk when I've been in, or less than friendly, or if you appear completely incompetent, I have no confidence at all in your ability to keep things clean. No doubt, it is tough to run a restaurant in NYC. No doubt that the DOH is cracking down more zealously than they used to. I imagine the truth is somewhere in the middle, which is why I'll give some people the benefit of the doubt.

Given the last paragraph, I have no desire to call anyone in particular out. Just want to make people aware that the results are available to them and they can make their own choices.
