The New York City Department of Health regularly inspects City restaurants and provides them with letter grades that correspond to its score. While most of the City's restaurants are sitting pretty with an A grade (minor violations, if any), there are still neighborhoods where you can finda decent amount of restaurants with a B or C grade. Data visualization artist asonjones recently mapped out zip codes / neighborhoods and colored them based on the percentage of restaurants with a sub-A grade. Check it out!

As if we didn't have enough to worry about when commuting around New York City, now you have to worry about getting bed bugs from MTA bus seats. Check it out in this report from ABC 7.

The MTA is taking at least half a dozen New York City buses out of service because of concerns about bed bugs. The buses are in isolation, on the outskirts of the Kingsbridge Bus Depot. They are out of service and quarantined after drivers say bed bugs were believed to be crawling in the seats of at least six buses in the past three weeks.

New York City real estate website StreetEasy recently created an interesting web series of short videos titled N-WHY-C that answers many questions about the City that you never thought to ask. In this episode from the series, watch as they explain how a city as large as New York Gets gets its mail sorted out every single day.

Barney knows how to do it all.
