Seen & Heard: Maman’s Northwest Tribeca Outpost Opens Monday
••• There’s a family event at Everafter this Thursday to celebrate the Indian holiday of Diwali and to benefit Project Lion.
••• Have you seen 108 Leonard at night lately? Stunning (although folks living directly across at 101 Leonard might beg to differ.)
••• The Maman outpost at 205 Hudson (on Canal Street side) opens at 7 a.m. on Monday with free cookies and milk for the first 100 customers.
••• Nobody told me that Taim opened on Maiden Lane.
••• Opening today at Soho Photo: 14th Annual National Alternative Processes
••• I nearly got run over by these two vehicles making the illegal right turn from White to W. Broadway, driving a half-block against traffic so they can turn left onto N. Moore. It boggles my mind that this situation persists. The DOT micromanages everywhere else, but leaves this as is.

Think there is any point in contacting Chin et. al. about the White St. issue?
Does anyone know what happened to Obao at Water St? I went there to get lunch today and saw a Dept. of Health sign on the window.
From NYC DOH restaurant grades online
Violations recorded in the following area (s), a Notice of Violation issued and establishment ordered closed by the Department of Health at the initial operational cycle inspection conducted on 11/05/2018.

94 percent of restaurants in NYC are given an A RATING by the health department. To be closed, this place must have been absolutely terrible. Let’s assume the worst – rats, mice, flies, raw food. Even getting a B RATING reflects horrible sanitation and disgusting conditions. Eating or drinking at one of these places means taking huge chances. Benares just closed because it had a B RATING. I believe that TRIBECA Tap House is the only remaining place in TRIBECA with a B RATING, though I also saw a deli in FiDi recently with one. Not aware of any C RATED restaurants in this area. Saw one once in KoreaTown. I think you usually go from a B RATING to being closed by the health cops if you do not clean up your act quickly. Obao will not be missed.
depends…. a lot of the of the infractions that will get a restaurant knocked to a “b” are technical. sometimes an “a” restaurant will spend a year on the “b” list. no big deal.

*Per DOH:
“Two types of inspections result in a letter grade: initial inspections for which the restaurant earns an A and reinspections that result in an A, B or C.
“A restaurant has two chances to earn an A in every inspection cycle. If it doesn’t earn an A on the first inspection, it’s scored but ungraded. An inspector goes back to the restaurant unannounced, typically within a month, to inspect it again and the re-inspection is graded. If the grade is a B or C, the restaurant will receive a grade card and a grade pending card. It can post either card until it has an opportunity to be heard at the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings Health Tribunal.”
