What's that in my stir fried rice??

Today while looking up a nearby food/billiards establishment at work on Google Maps, I came across a lovely local internet gem that will be of use to me for years to come:

NYC Department of Health Restaurant Inspection Information

AMAZING! Within the first five seconds I learned that I will not be going to Ridgewood Billiards after work tomorrow (not with 38 violation points!) and that my favorite Chinese food delivery place in Bay Ridge, Hot Wok, has mice living in and/or near its food sources. Lovely!

You can search for an individual restaurant name or just browse everything in your neighborhood or zip code and even sort them quickly by number of violation points just so you can make sure that wherever you're about to go grab a nosh at is not on the Heath and Hygene shit list.

Hooray for E. Coli!!
