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?

Can you delete the bug?
We get the idea.
Pretend he’s the what and hit the delete key.
yechh.
The problem with cats is Toxoplasmosis

Personally, I find being very diligent about taking out the trash and replacing the roach traps stops all bug activity. And you have no risk of becoming schizophrenic!
Dave, true. I bet The What would surprise us. For instance, he might have two straight antennae, rather than one straight and one curled one like the one in the pic above. Ok, ok, I’ll stop!
I agree Biff…would love to see him back…and in person. Always a surprise when you meet someone from brownstoner in person!!!!
cobblehiller, I actually agree with you regarding The What being part of our dysfunctional family and, although I do perversely enjoy poking fun at him (I just couldn’t help myself in comparing him to the cockroach), I’ve never advocated him being banned for his comments. And the truth is (if only he were here to scream at me for this) I would love to see him at a bar, shake his hand and buy him a drink. Although I would ask him to try to refrain from the homophobic epithets.
Please, no more “ewwwwww” comments. Eat a bug, save a chicken or a cow!!!
I’m with you iluvclintonhill! I worked in restaurants when I was in high school.
Like Dave said almost all of them have a problem with insects and rodents. I’m more concerned with the degree. Are they doing all that they can to prevent the problem by way of keeping the place clean or is it something they’ve just resigned themselves to thinking is normal. So restaurants clearly do a better job of prevention than others.
I’ll tell you this though, if you really hate insects (flys and the like) in your home get a cat. Anytime we get an “interloper” my cat is on those things immediately and she stays with it howling away until one of comes and does it in. Then she does her proud dance and runs over to where we keep the treats for her reward. She definitely earns her keep! She’s a N.I.M.B.Y. kinda cat.
Correct Biff, I didn’t go to the Bodies exhibit, and I won’t be visiting any bug exhibits at the AMNH anytime soon. I am SQUEAMISH. Waterbugs make me shriek, jump around like my clothes are on fire, and just plain freak me out.
You’re funny Biff, but really, What was a part of our imperfect family here until Brownstoner pressed the eject button. I find it a little odd that no one seems to have seen the ‘bad comments’ posted over the weekend. Did you?
Biff- not me! bug pics are totally creepy and disgusting. Sorry- it’s just me but ewwwww. Well, at least you still have the spirit of What. You could print out the picture and place it on your dresser if you really miss him. I prefer the NY Mag cover portrait myself but this one may be truer to his real nature.
