NYC restaurants are too loud — so this New Yorker is trying to make decibel levels public
NY Post
He’s making a racket with this noise complaint.
A retiree enraged by clamorous cafes and rambunctious restaurants has started a petition to have Big Apple eateries publicly post their decibel levels so those looking for quiet can make informed decisions about where to dine.
“Good food and bad conversation is a lousy meal,” Howard Davis, 87, told The Post, saying he’s sick of struggling to hear his dinner dates above the din.
“It’s practically impossible to go to a restaurant where the noise is not overwhelming,” the retired attorney, who lives on the Upper East Side and dines out up to four nights a week, further proclaimed.
Among the list of Davis’ noisiest offenders: Becco and the Smith, both in Midtown, and Sojourn and Blue Mezze, both on the Upper East Side.
More than 230 people have added their signatures to the petition, which was posted to Change.org late last year.
