The New York City Health Department would like for you to know the following:
- They didn’t tell Sardi’s that the cheese on the bar was a health code violation.
- They generally don’t cite for peanuts and other bar foods.
- You can leave your cheese out at room temperature for up to four hours. (Or six hours, if it is kept below 70 degrees, and someone records the temperature every two hours.)
(Damn. I would have sworn that I’d blogged the original Sardi’s story earlier in the week, but I can’t find it now.)
