What NYC public spaces have enhanced air quality?

October 28, 2022 3:57 PM

Recently I was on a restaurant’s website and saw that they had “unparalleled air circulation - a minimum of 16.5 times per hour” and “hospital grade MERV-13 air filters”. What other spaces and places in NYC have improved their air quality in the past two years, or had it to begin with? I am interested in restaurants, hotels, malls, venues, atriums, etc - any public spaces.

Here's an article (albeit from 2 years ago) about mostly high-end restaurants in NYC that have installed advanced filtration systems and other technology to improve air quality.

Named in the article are: Musket Room, Le Bernardin, Crown Shy, all 12 of Union Square Hospitality Group's restaurants (though only Gramercy Tavern, Blue Smoke, Union Square Cafe are mentioned by name).

Le Poisson Rouge has a ton of what look like big air filters on all sides of the dance floor. I don't know anything about them for sure, but that was heartening when I was there this past week.
