There's vermin and roaches all over Manhattan what makes people think this isn't rampant in EVERY food establishment. How many inspectors miss things or get paid off?

"Unknown causes"? We now know that it was indeed a Veniero disease. That's funny.

Yet one more reason to go around the corner to De Robertis Pasticceria. Only 10 years younger, arguably better and a much more authentic "old New York" experience (it hasn't wallowed in faux nostalgia for the bridge and tunnel crowds like Veniero's has).

*On 1894, everything was covered in rat droppings so it wasn't such a big deal to find a little in your chocolate.* an more people died of "unknown causes" than they did today.

But the droppings were a much finer quality back then.
