Is Blue clean?

Blue is currently Grade A ⏳ from NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), from an inspection on November 19, 2024.

There is a newer inspection the city has not ruled on yet, so the posted grade still stands for now.

How New York grades restaurants

New York City health inspectors score violations in points, and lower is better: 0–13 points earns an A, 14–27 a B, and 28 or more a C. Every restaurant is inspected at least once a year, and the letter has to be posted in the window. A restaurant that scores 14 or more on the first inspection of a cycle does not get a letter right away — it stays “Grade Pending” until a re-inspection settles it, which is why some spots here show an hourglass instead of a letter. Cooked only ever shows a letter the city actually posted; we never infer one from a score.
