Nutritional Information on Menus in NYC?

Two weeks ago, I took one of the grandkids to NYC for the day. Being a teenager, he wanted to go to that music-themed restaurant which shall remain nameless (mostly because the food, service, and atmosphere have declined dramatically since they moved from their old location to Times Square). I noticed that the calorie count for each selection was printed beside the title. Is this a required or common practice in the City now, or is this something the restaurant is voluntarily doing?

I rarely get past the pastry coach outside my destination when I'm there, so I have no knowledge of what is required or not.

Thanks!

Since January 2008, NYC has required for certain food establishments (namely, chain restaurants) to include calorie count information.

More info here.

Thanks, feedmec00kies. It tells you how long it's been since I was in any sit-down restaurant in the City.
