PrintSanitary Report Cards for New York City Restaurants
Over the next two years, a restaurant-grading system will be introduced to improve health safety, similar to one already in play in regions like Los Angeles. While many C students are perfectly good people, a C-graded restaurant is probably not your friend. [via The Food Section]

This is going to be really rough as I am sure some of our favorite eateries will have a great deal of trouble meeting an A+ grade if it's set to the same standard as kitchens in LA.
The pest problem in NYC is far greater and we have a lot less space so rats from a C restaurant may be ruin the A grade for the restaurant next door.
And of course, there's always corruption/cheating which supposedly LA has mostly rooted out.
I'm not sure how much it would effect diner habits.

All restaurants already have publicly accessible "grades"--you can search for them on nyc.gov...I guess this initiative is just to post them outside the restaurant?
