NEW YORK, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Lawyers for a New York restaurant say an agent for the landlord banned it from advertising that former Yankees pitcher Mariano Rivera was a part owner.
In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan, Manhattan Sports Restaurants of America accused Susanne Lieu, managing agent for One Dag Corp., of sabotaging the restaurant, Siro's, the New York Daily News reported. The lawyers say Lieu told restaurant managers that publicizing Rivera's connection to Siro's would attract "ghetto people" from The Bronx.
