There's a doozy of a lawsuit going on over at 24 First Ave., the former Lucky Cheng's space where the remaining Pride and Joy BBQ partners are hoping to open a restaurant.
Things are stalled at the moment as Pride and Joy is suing landlord Hayne Suthon for $22 million for allegedly lying to them about the condition of the space and trying to evict them for not paying the rent … this after the restaurant was apparently ready to open for business last May before celebrity BBQ chef Myron Mixon filed a lawsuit accusing his partners of "trademark infringement, breach of contract, and misappropriation of name and likeness."
Meanwhile, in a development that doesn't involve a lawsuit, someone needs to pay the Con Ed bill (again) …
The outstanding charges are for $1,820.71 … given the recent Con Ed rate hikes, this might just be for one week of service.
