GOTHAM GRADES
NYC'S REAL INSPECTION MAPAlready know where you're going? Search its name to jump straight to its inspection history — this is separate from browsing the map above.
GOTHAM GRADES turns NYC's public restaurant inspection data into something you can actually browse — no portals, no spreadsheets. Here's the fastest way into each part of it.
Turn on up to 4 categories and see grades pop up as color-coded pins. Good for: "what's around here right now" or "what's near the place I'm about to visit."
Try it: turn on Pizza + Bakeries, drag the map to a neighborhood you like, and export the view as a shareable card.
Already know where you're eating? Search it by name (above) to jump straight to its grade and full inspection history — good for a quick check before you go.
Try it: search "Joe's Pizza" — there are a few locations, so you'll get a pick list instead of a guess.
Prefer lists to maps? Browse by borough and neighborhood, then filter by category and grade — good for planning ahead or comparing areas.
Try it: Grade A pizza in Williamsburg.
Gotham is one of New York City's oldest nicknames — it predates Batman by about a century, first popularized in the early 1800s as a wry way of referring to the city. Grades is the more literal half: the A/B/C letter-grade system the city uses to rate restaurant hygiene is the whole reason this site exists. Put together, it's a New York nickname wrapped around the one piece of city data this site is built to make easy to actually use.
