Liquid Diet
William Dowd reports that NYC's new food calories program will also apply to beverages. Restaurants with more than 15 outlets will be required to list the calories of food and beverages on the menu.
The bad news is: I don't actually want to know how many calories are in my drinks.
The good news is: I don't spend a lot of time drinking in chain restaurants.
I'm curious to know whether hotel lobby bars and restaurants, which are often different with different menus in each venue, are subject to this rule. It would be a bummer to see menus at nice lobby bars sullied with caloric intake information.
You DON'T want to know how many calories are in cocktails- especially mine! My current champ is 450.
