12,263 restaurants inspected by the NYC Department of Health. 93.7% earned a Grade A.
Restaurant inspections in Manhattan are conducted by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH). Every restaurant in NYC is inspected at least once a year on an unannounced basis. Inspectors check for food handling, food temperature, personal hygiene, and pest control, among other critical factors. Violations are scored on a point system: fewer points mean a better grade.
There are currently 12,263 restaurants tracked in Manhattan. Of the 8,191 that have received a letter grade, 93.7% earned a Grade A (0-13 violation points), meaning they meet the highest standards of food safety. Grade B (14-27 points) and Grade C (28+ points) indicate increasing levels of concern. Restaurants that score 28 or more points may face additional re-inspections.
When choosing where to eat in NYC, the letter grade posted in the window is your quickest indicator. Grade A restaurants have the fewest violations. However, even a Grade B or C restaurant may have corrected its issues since the last inspection. Check the inspection date to see how recent the data is.

There are currently 7,677 restaurants in Manhattan with a Grade A, representing 93.7% of all graded establishments. Grade A means the restaurant scored between 0 and 13 violation points during its most recent inspection.
A Grade C means the restaurant scored 28 or more violation points during inspection. This indicates significant food safety concerns were found. The restaurant must post the Grade C card in its window. It will typically be re-inspected within a shorter timeframe to check for improvements.
NYC restaurants are inspected at least once per year on an unannounced basis. Restaurants with lower grades may be re-inspected more frequently. Initial inspections that score 14 or more points trigger a re-inspection, typically within 1-2 months.
