New York City restaurants are awash in ratings, from Zagat numbers and Michelin stars to Health Department letter grades. Now there’s one to show how welcoming they are to new moms who need to nurse.
Latch, a campaign created by four graduate students at New York University’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, ranks participating businesses on whether they offer open, semi-private or private space, and electrical outlets for breast pumps. The group gives establishments window decals to show potential customers they’re friendly to nursing mothers.
