How best to solve the pollution
problems of a city sunk so deep within sulfurous
clouds that it
was described as hell on
earth? Simply answered: Relocate all urban smoke-
creating industry and
encircle the
metropolis of London with sweetly scented flowers
and elegant hedges.
In fact, as
Christine L. Corton, a Cambridge scholar, reveals
in her new book, London Fog, this
fragrant anti-smoke scheme was the
brainchild of John Evelyn, the 17th-century
diarist. King

afford it lived elsewhere. The
east was
abandoned to the underclass. Lord Palmerston spoke
up for choking East Enders in the
1850s, pointing a finger at the
interests of the furnace owners. A bill was
passed, but there
was little change.
Eventually, another connection was established:

British press finally took up the cause. It was

In a sweeping change to how most of
its 1,800 employees are paid, the Union Square
Hospitality
Group
will
eliminate
tipping
at
Union
Square
Cafe
and
its
12
other
restaurants
by
the
end
of
next
year, the
company
York City businesses. The first
will be the Modern, inside the Museum of Modern
Art, starting
next month. The others
will gradually follow.
A small number
of restaurants around the country have reduced or
eliminated tipping in the last
several
years. Some put a surcharge on the bill, allowing
the restaurants to set the pay for all
their
employees.
Others,
including
Bruno
Pizza,
a
new
restaurant
in
the
East
Village,
factor
the
cost
of an hourly wage for servers into their menu
prices. Union Square Hospitality Group will
do the latter.
The Modern
will be the pilot restaurant, Mr. Meyer said,
because its chef, Abram Bissell, has
been agitating for higher pay to
attract skilled cooks. The average hourly wage for
kitchen
employees at the restaurant is
expected to rise to $$15.25 from $$11.75. Mr. Meyer
said that
restaurants such as his
needed to stay competitive as the state moved to a
$$15 minimum wage for
fast-food workers.
If cooks
going to be sustainable to
attract the culinary talent that the city needs to
keep its edge.
Mr. Meyer said he hoped
to be able to raise pay for junior dining room
managers and for cooks,
dishwashers and
other kitchen workers.
The wage gap is
one of several issues cited by restaurateurs who
have deleted the tip line from
checks.
Some believe it is unfair for servers
to
do
with
performance.
A
rash
of
class-
action
lawsuits
over
tipping
irregularities,
many
of
which
have been settled for millions of
dollars, is a mounting worry.
Scott
Rosenberg, an owner of Sushi Yasuda in Manhattan,
said in an interview in 2013 that he had
eliminated
tipping
so
his
restaurant
could
more
closely
follow
the
customs
of
Japan,
where
tipping
is
rare.
He
said
he
also
hoped
his
customers
would
enjoy
