Huffington PostA Manhattan condo board is doing everything it can to keep a proposed Denny’s from moving into its building. After all, the board says, wild types visit those sort of establishments.
The condo board of the building, which is located in the city’s Financial District, has gone as far as to file a $10 million lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court to keep stop the restaurant from moving into the building’s retail space, according to the Real Deal, a New York City real estate news site.
“Denny’s is a fast food chain synonymous with a late night party atmosphere, as well as drunk, disorderly, violent and criminal conduct,” read the legal complaint, the Real Deal reports.
The restaurant originally planned to serve wine and beer, according to DNA Info. But after receiving dozens of written complaints, Denny’s eventually withdrew its application for a full liquor license, Grub Street reports.
Denny’s did not immediately return calls from The Huffington Post requesting comment. This would be company’s first location in New York City, according to Grubstreet.
The building, where an apartment is currently on the market for $1.45 million, is located in a commercial neighborhood where there are a number of foodestablishments that serve wine, beer and other spirits. The building is located near the entrance to the Brooklyn Bridge and is neighbors with Pace University and City Hall. Zuccotti Park, the main site of the Occupy Wall Street protests, is only six blocks away.

The condo board has seen all of those youtube vids too….
They don’t want the people to be fed well at a fair price. Bloomberg giggling while his subjects starve.
These chain restaurants don’t do very well in NYC anyway, because they have too much independent competition. (or at least they did five years ago)
Dominos makes the WORST pizza available, any Deli will make you a better sandwich than Subway’s for less money, and any Greek Diner will put Denny’s food to shame. The liquor license was the only hope they had of having any clientele at all.
Hehehe!
I had a client in her late 80’s she went out once a week (Unless it was to a dinner at one of her family members) to get her hair and nails done.
After she was all Beautyfull 🙂 she wanted to go to Denny’s to eat before going back home. Most of the people in there when we went were about her age, and a few parents with kids.
Hehehe! Yeah, those Wild and Woolly ones for sure lol!
(But, this place did close at 10:00pm and didn’t serve liquor)

These wannabes should live in better neighborhoods or get over their delusions.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Now the rich have created a money entity big enough to sustain us all equally.
