Part 3/9:
As I prepared for my visit, I couldn’t ignore the whispers surrounding Gallagher's health inspection ratings. New York City assigns letter grades to restaurants, and Gallagher’s had recently received a C, which evidently stirred up a bit of controversy. Although health scores are a clear indicator of restaurant cleanliness, many top restaurants sometimes face similar scrutiny. Nevertheless, the restaurant's bustling atmosphere hinted that patrons weren't overly concerned about the C rating. My anticipation for a satisfying meal prevailed over any uneasiness.
