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?

bxgrl, not to worry, I just paid an exterminator $300 to get rid of it (he turned off my monitor).
TownhouseLady and Dave, you two should take your act on the road. You’re the Burns and Allen of Brownstoner today!
Biff- I hope you can read still read this after stomping your screen. Why didn’t you do what I did? Bug spray. I’d be especially sure to spray it into the little holes around the cable openings 🙂
Oh I hadn’t though about taking out the garbage! Here I was thinking I’d need to buy a bigger house since we are running out of room! Thanks for the great idea Polemicist!
I haven’t seen roaches in this house ever, but that doesn’t mean an occasional house fly doesn’t get in when we open the back door or a water bug that makes it’s way up through the basement.
“when not many of us spend hours here” Who in god’s name would spend hours here bxgrl???
They happened on the weekend when not many of us spend hours here, so it’s not surprising the comments would have come and gone without us seeing them. I’m just wondering why you’re questioning?
Well, it’s really funny how What has come full circle from virtual pariah to invisible celebrity. I don’t think Mr. b will feel as awkward as What might- I’ve met Jon. He’s got a good sense of humor so you never know.
I second the getting rid of the icky gross bug pic! There are still fingernail marks in the ceiling from where I clutched the plaster the last time I saw one. Thank goodness for the mighty hunters in the house.
Polemicist- toxiplasmosis is much less of a problem that the filth and disease vermin carry. My little hunters do a great job and are wonderful companion animals. Good cleaning habits are all important but bugs and other vermin also come in from the outside and you can’t control all the places they can enter. I haven’t seen a roach in over 6 years but I have no doubt they party hardy in the walls and behind the cabinets- this is NYC after all.
cobblehiller, I didn’t see the “bad comments/threats”, but I have no reason to doubt Mr. B’s assertion that they were there. We’ve seen plenty of bad comments/threats being allowed in the past, so it’s certainly believable. (I also don’t log in typically on weekends, so I wouldn’t have seen them before they were removed).
I’m pretty sure The What wouldn’t show up to a Brownstoner event. Or perhaps he would, but I think he would be too scared to identify himself and subject himself to references about his physical appearance here going forward.
I tried stomping on the bug on my computer screen, but I can’t seem to get rid of the darn thing.
Absolutely, Mr. B can ban anyone he likes. Yes, he said he removed the bad comments.
Did anyone see these “bad comments/threats”? None of the regulars seem to have seen them. I’m just curious.
Oh lord, I’m keeping you and DIBS at least arms length apart from What! That would be amazing if What came to the party. I mean it’s free drinks for him, right? Of course Mr. B might feel a little awkward, but I’m sure we can smooth that out, no? [overly optimistic?]
Now that we have reached a majority, can we please pretty please please get rid of the icky gross bug, please?
From what Jon said, What wasn’t banned for being obnoxious, he was banned for making threats. And since Jon’s real name is known and we all pretty much know where he lives, he had every right to take that seriously. No one can accuse Jon of censorship- not after all the months he let the What rant, rave, grossly insult him (and many others) personally and use language most of us would wash out our mouths with soap for.
I don’t always agree with Jon, but he put up with months of bs from What and didn’t block him until now. And since we all know What’s propensity for gross comments, I have no doubt Jon not only deleted them immediately, but whatever it was What deserved to be banned. This is still Jon’s blog- he put it up, he pays for it and we all play on it.
Hey sam- something we can agree on 🙂 Ban the bug!
sam, the DOE just graded the bug “A” for its attractiveness (it was much uglier last year). 🙂
