Little Fish Inspection

I admit I have a bit of a bias towards this place anyway, but this report is sickening:

Whoa ... usually you see a few violations relating to mice (really, in the city its nearly impossible to keep them entirely at bay), but that's one long, long, long ass list.

the city is changing the way they do restaurant inspections, and i think that is why a lot of places seem to be doing poorly, as they adjust to the new inspection methods. looking at the little fish review, it seems they got nailed for some things out of their control (like the slow going reconstruction of their exterior wall)

They've been really nailing some places in Old City inspecting them 3 times in 3 months. This is the second followup inspection to SoHo Pizza/ Chelsea Lounge and they still haven't gotten it right.

Food employees observed not wearing or wearing ineffective hair restraints, such as nets, hats, or beard restraints.

Is this for servers as well?

no.

seems like the new rules are picking up even some of the higher end places...

as well as the more affordable...

but i think anyone would agree you treat your own food better than any restaurant would...

Reading through these reports makes me glad I'm not a restaurant owner.

NOOO! love SOHO pizza. im not surprised though. that place gets sweaty as hell over the summer. the cooks are always wiping their foreheads while making pizza.

I love SOHO why did you have to put that picture in my head of them wiping their sweaty heads!

[goobee2]

Take that thought right out of your head and think PIZZA and the comical place that SOHO is, it reminds me of the soup nazi.... except they are nicer...

[BeardScraper]

i apologize. i still eat there. they usually just wipe their forearms on their heads. not their hands atleast. and that oven is so friggin hot it would kill any bacteria that may land on the dough. pizza guys never wear gloves anyway. ever get a slice on the boardwalk? tastes great...but dont watch them make it. sweaty pigs.

St. Stephen's report had fresh mouse dropping on the meat slicer. I don't think it get's much worse than that!

[goobee2]

i can not believe how bad these inspections were and Downey's really didnt seem as bad. We all know what and how Downeys looks and smells so, take it from there... Something is definitely wrong here...
