More Than 260 Diners Sickened By New York Restaurant

More than 260 people have been sickened by a Thanksgiving dinner at a popular Greece restaurant and party house, which is quite likely the largest recent outbreak of foodborne illness in Monroe County. Health Department inspectors closed Golden Ponds Restaurant and Party House restaurant at 500 Long Pond Road in Greece on Nov. 25 after many people reported becoming ill after eating Thanksgiving dinner there. The department is now awaiting the results of laboratory tests on both stool and food samples that were sent to the New York State Department of Health for testing in its laboratory in Albany.
