Greenwich Social Food Hall Shuttered By Health Inspectors

GREENWICH VILLAGE, NY — A food hall on Fifth Avenue was shuttered by health inspectors this week, city records show.

City records show The Greenwich Social, at 74 Fifth Ave. between 13th and 14th streets, was slapped with 50 violation points Friday, July 26.

The records show the food hall, which has a variety of eats including burgers, tacos and Italian food, did not store food at the correct temperature, had evidence of mice or live mice, and problems with flies.

Filth flies were present in the facility, and personal cleanliness was inadequate, the records show.

Clothes had possible contaminants and hair restraints were not worn where food was prepared, the records show.

The facility was also not vermin proof and non-food contact surfaces were not proper, according to the records.

Earlier this year, the facility was slapped with 19 and 23 violation points on Feb. 26 and March 15, respectively. Last August, the food hall received 48 violation points, though it cleaned up the next month with just 7 violation points Sept. 25.

It was not immediately clear if the food hall had re-opened by Friday.

A call to The Greenwich Social's listed number was not answered. An email sent to a press contact at Black Rose Hospitality, which is listed as the limited liability company on the Village food hall's website, did not immediately respond to comment.
