Now non-food businesses are getting in on the action.

Sparks deli in Queens got the first "A"
If you don't serve food, you don't get a grade, but non-food businesses--maybe feeling left out--have started to create their own letter cards to put on display. So far, they're making all A's.
Three Lives & Co. bookshop gives itself a "Literary Inspection Grade" of A+. This hand-drawn grade report was created by Elisha Cooper, illustrator of children's books like Beaver Is Lost and Bear Dreams.

The inspection placard at Philippe Liquors on 23rd Street in Chelsea is not as artistic, nor as accurate, but still gives a solid A to Philippe for keeping all its wines "in good shape" and the premises in "clean sanitary condition."

I've only spotted these two so far, but I suspect this will be a growing trend. Seen any homemade A's in your neighborhood?

I want one of these tee shirts. Maybe they will be a hit and sell 4 for $10--woo woo
Bravo for Sparks Deli. This is cute. I wonder if they give big red Fs?
This is hilarious! I'll be on the lookout for it now!
