Cuomo vs Tonic East


Recommended Posts

Breaking news across the birdy wire. New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is accused of Tonic East, Murray Hill's brightest, baddest and most roof decky sports bar pub club, of racial discrimination! Our Little Birdy passed along a high level summary of the charges:

People of the State of New York; Andrew Cuomo v. 411 Rest. Corp. dba Tonic East

3/3/2008 CV-2088

Racial discrimination arising from defendant instituting a dress code excluding "Hip-hop" clothing or "Urban Wear" as part of a
pattern or practice of denying African-Americans from admittance into its club TONIC EAST
.

We couldn't find any written dress code on the club's website, but in their photos, we were able to find one African American (sans Hip-hop clothing or Urban Wear). Call us crazy, but the picture reeks of photoshop.

Developing.
