New York's Dirtiest Restaurants
The Epoch Times released a list of the city’s cleanest and dirtiest restaurants, and Brooklyn fared…okay. None of the top six cleanest are in our borough (the Bronx seems to be the best place to get a clean plate of food), but only two of the dirtiest are in Brooklyn: a Golden Krust on Nostrand…
The Epoch Times released a list of the city’s cleanest and dirtiest restaurants, and Brooklyn fared…okay. None of the top six cleanest are in our borough (the Bronx seems to be the best place to get a clean plate of food), but only two of the dirtiest are in Brooklyn: a Golden Krust on Nostrand Avenue, which seems to share the space with mice, cockroaches and insects along with customers, and a Jamaican restaurant on Saratoga Avenue; rats and insects were found there. The list came courtesy of State Senator Jeff Klein, based on data from the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The Senator, and his colleague, Brooklyn’s Senator Eric Adams, are hoping the ratings will lead to more pressure on the department and thus fewer cockroaches with your side of fries. Seen anything particularly stomach-turning recently?

“The problem with cats is Toxoplasmosis”
Well maybe you eat poop but we don’t!
For a human to catch toxoplasmosis, all these things have to happen:
The cat has to injest raw meat infected with toxoplasmosis. By catching infected prey and fully eating it, not just clawing it or briefly biting it.
Then the cat has to defecate in the litter, and the feces go days without being cleaned up (fresh feces is not a carrier, only old feces).
THEN, the feces has to be INJESTED. Not just breathed in. Toxoplasmosis is not airborne and it is not carrried on fur.
Toxoplasmosis is very rare. So please stop spreading ignorance about cats. There are far more benefits to owning a cat than not owning one.
THL- Had to take a break- at 4 my cats simply must have their milk break.
Cobblehiller- if you hated this one bug pic, think of a dozen of them crawling all over your screen. I loved the animation, hated the bugs (I hope its over now- I love lemurs though!)
That’s unfortunate. I like a good chicken patty from Golden Krust. I guess when you live an urban life, you put these things to the back of your mind. Until they’re magnified and posted on one of your daily blogs…
On a related note, a friend saw a mouse scurrying through Target a few weeks ago…
“Thank you cobblehiller- I couldn’t even scroll past it. Ugh! was as bad as the Madagascar bug ads for the Bronx zoo that crawled all over your screen when you opened the page. ”
Ooh, a friend of mine actually art directed that site. I’ll have to talk to her. I only saw the little lemur hanging on the screen, which I thought was pretty cute.
Oh that’s too funny Bxgrl (but don’t let the word out about working cat’s rights since mine’s a primadonna as is)!
Heather, isn’t there a big hill in Washington Heights? By the way, I did a shout out to you at the end of this thread this morning.

Oh- you sprayed it already. Good forward thinking, dave!
If I were looking at this n my Mac it would be bug free.
Send them to mine for training Heather. We’ll send them back with all the proper accouterments to properly fight the war on bugs- chain mail, explosives, chemicals, hammers and a pamphlet for you regarding the rights of working cats. Environmentally sensitive chemicals of course- I don’t want to upset Poley.
Biff- I could have saved you the 300 and sent my cat over to attack the monitor. Then it would have cost you only 680$ to replace it. But it would be bug free (or as bug free as anything is on a pc).
