Manhattan, NY — The Long Hall, an American restaurant located at 58 East 34th Street in Midtown Manhattan, received a Grade B following a New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene inspection conducted on March 19, 2026. The restaurant scored 25 points — placing it near the upper boundary of the Grade B range and two points from the Grade C threshold.

The inspection data was released by DOHMH on March 23, 2026.

What Inspectors Found

Inspectors documented one non-critical violation during the March visit:

  • Code 08A: The establishment was found to have harborage conditions or conditions conducive to rodents, insects, or other pests.

No critical violations were recorded. While the single violation is classified as non-critical, a score of 25 represents one of the higher scores within the Grade B band. Code 08A violations indicate structural or environmental conditions that could allow pests to enter or shelter within the premises — such as gaps in walls, unsealed drains, or clutter that provides nesting opportunities — rather than a confirmed pest sighting.

Food Safety Context

Under NYC Health Code Article 81, restaurants are required to maintain facilities free of conditions that could attract or harbor pests. The FDA Food Code similarly establishes pest prevention as a foundational component of food safety, recognizing that pest activity poses direct risks to food contamination.

A score of 25 sits in the upper portion of the Grade B range (14–27 points). While the restaurant retains a passing grade, a single reinspection cycle with additional findings could push the score into Grade C territory, which begins at 28 points. DOHMH uses a point-weighted system in which non-critical violations generally carry fewer points than critical ones, but accumulated non-critical findings can still result in elevated scores.

Inspection History

The Long Hall has been inspected several times in recent years. Its record shows a pattern of Grade B-range scores in recent cycles:

  • 2025-10-06: Score 21
  • 2024-05-08: Score 13 (Grade A)
  • 2023-11-27: Score 21

The restaurant earned a Grade A in May 2024 with a score of 13, but subsequent inspections in late 2023 and late 2025 both produced scores of 21. The most recent inspection, at 25, represents the highest score recorded in this dataset.

Understanding NYC Restaurant Grades

New York City requires letter grades to be posted in restaurant windows based on inspection scores:

  • Grade A: 0–13 points (lowest risk)
  • Grade B: 14–27 points (moderate risk)
  • Grade C: 28 or more points (higher risk)

Restaurants that score in the B or C range during an initial inspection may request a re-inspection before a grade is officially assigned. Scores and inspection reports are publicly available through the DOHMH restaurant inspection lookup tool at NYC.gov.

Diners seeking inspection records for specific establishments can search by restaurant name or address through the city's open data portal. The Long Hall's current posted grade reflects the outcome of the March 19 inspection.
