This repository contains the source for NYCFoodSafety.org, a Node.js application for finding New York City health violation citations for restaurants.
NYCFoodSafety.org provides users with a search form for finding restaurants by name and borough. An advanced search form allows users to find restaurants by ZIP code and cuisine type.
The application runs a Node.js server that queries a dataset updated daily by the city Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The server then returns the search results to users. The live application is hosted on Heroku.
