Now, we all should know that, contrary to popular belief, state health departments don't ban going barefoot in businesses.
But recently, somebody told me that this sort of thing is regulated by the locality, and not the state. Interesting, interesting.
Well, it's official:
Dear Ms. Baker:
I am writing in response to your recent inquiry addressed to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) asking whether there are sanitary regulations requiring that food service establishment (FSE) patrons have on footwear.
Neither the New York City Health Code nor the New York State Sanitary Code contain any provisions which address the issue of clothing or footwear worn by patrons in New York City FSE’s.
Thank you and I hope this adequately addresses your inquiry.
(I assume that they do not have stricter rules for places which do not serve food.)
So the shoelessness is not, legally, a problem for the niecelings - at least, not so long as we stay in the state :)
That post got deleted a while back, I'm sad to say, but all the same - HAH! Ha-HAH!

Date: 2007-04-20 10:36 pm (UTC)It seemed for a while there that I'd post something autism-related, and you'd post in your journal something... very snarky?
But if you weren't directing it at me, I was probably misreading it a lot. I know it's not easy raising an autistic kid - heck, it wasn't even easy raising me, and everybody knows how wonderful I am :P
So I'll take a breath and be more patient.
