"the removal of Pinky’s Space outdoor shed allegedly caused damages of “at least $90,000,” with a profit loss estimated to be $528,000. This figure has jumped up from initial reporting by the New York Post in which Pinky’s stated outdoor shed damages were $25,000, later amending it to $50,000"
What court would buy into these nonsensical figures? 90K for a couple of mannequins and a disco ball?
So, Pinky's business model now is to get money by suing NYC? I have formed quite an opinion of them, and it's not a favorable one!
Hey, if Pinky's keeps inflating its numbers so bizarrely, it'll soon be a multi-million dollar corporation!
These Pinky's people are a JOKE. The shed was a BLESSING you had for years, it's still public space, you did not pay for It, and your restaurant fits like 3 people, what the hell.
Love Aline forever.
It never made sense that Pinky’s shed was 30 ft wide. The Open Restaurants instructions showed that structures should not exceed the width of their storefront. I wonder if by suing the city they’ll end up inviting fines and auditing by calling attention to themselves.
