October 2019
Six NYU Eats dining locations were inspected this October by the New York City Department of Health.
Five, including Lipton Dining Hall, Marketplace at Kimmel, Jasper Kane Café, Starbucks, and Argo Tea, received “A” ratings. The sixth, Upstein dining facility, lost a total of 40 points in seven violation code categories due to supply storage issues. None of the points deducted concerned food handling or food safety. NYU Eats is currently working to make the adjustments the Health Department wants, at off hours and with minimal disruption to service. The “not yet graded” status allows for a chance to correct the issues before the re-inspection, which will happen relatively soon and will determine the grade we receive. Accordingly, NYU Eats will take steps to add additional millwork and fixtures at Upstein.
NYC DoH inspections are performed at NYU Eats locations randomly and on an ongoing basis. NYU Eats will keep the NYU community regularly informed about the results of inspections at NYU dining locations on the NYU Dining website. Inspection results and additional details are also publicly available on the Department of Health website.
