OMG, Was Gandhi an AC/DC?
Brick Lane Curry House on E.6th St in NYC which fared miserably in two recent New York City Health Department inspections has been issued a B Grade on October 19, 2010 by the department.
What a shame.
Some of Brick Lane Curry House‘s neighbors like Gandhi Indian restaurant and Banjara have managed to walk away with the coveted A Grade from the NYC Health Dept.
Brick Lane – B Grade Indian Restaurant
As per the NYC Health Dept. guidelines, an inspection score of 0-13 is an A, 14-27 points gets a B, and restaurants with 28 or more points are handed a C.
With 24 points (reduced from the original 43 after presumably an appeal), Brick Lane now has to suffer the mortification of displaying a B Grade where it can easily be seen by people passing by. Hopefully, the Brick Lane folks will learn some lessons and keep their premises clean.
Here are some of the hygiene issues cited by NYC Health Dept while issuing B Grade to Brick Lane Curry House on 10/19/2010:
* Live roaches present in facility’s food and/or non-food areas
* Hot food item not held at or above 140º F.
* Cold food item held above 41º F (smoked fish and reduced oxygen packaged foods above 38 ºF) except during necessary preparation
* Facility not vermin proof. Harborage or conditions conducive to attracting vermin to the premises and/or allowing vermin to exist
Live Roaches, Not Vermin Proof…Yeeks, sure sounds un-appetizing.

Credit Suisse investment banker Vikram Gandhi is asking a whopping $20 million for his Upper East Side town house on 74th St in Manhattan, according to today’s Wall Street Journal.
According to the WSJ, Vikram and his socialite wife Meera Gandhi paid $4.3 million for the 18-foot wide limestone town house in 2000 and renovated it.

Vikram and Meera’s town house has five bedrooms, a back garden and a roof garden with views of 74th Street, The Carlyle Hotel and the treeline of Central Park.
We wonder what renovations Vikram made to the shack that it now merits an asking price of $20 million. Wow, that’s an appreciation of 365% in seven years.
While we don’t claim to know the specifics of the renovation having never been inside this $20 million Taj Mahal, what we do know is that Meera Gandhi spent two years renovating the town house and enlisted the help of Harvard architect Pedro Castillo and interior decorator Kenneth Alpert.
The town house does look grand and has some interesting history too.
You see, FDR’s widow Eleanor Roosevelt lived in the same town house for a few years before her death in 1962.
Credit Suisse’s web site lists Vikram Gandhi as a Continue reading »
