Eatery refuses to submit to NYC law; challenging in court

Crain's New York Business reports:

California-based restaurant chain Houston’s doesn’t like New York City’s calorie labeling law, and it has refused to submit to it, setting the stage for a battle with city health officials.

With more than 30 restaurants across the country, including two in Manhattan, the upscale chain falls under the city’s definition of a company required to include caloric information on its menus here. But diners won’t find calories listed anywhere at either of the restaurants, on East 53rd Street and Third Avenue and East 27th Street and Park Avenue South.
