1:49Now PlayingA swanky Upper East Side hotel repeatedly served alcohol to minors to offset significant losses during the pandemic, an explosive court filing claims. NY Post Senior Features Writer Joshua Rhett Miller shares this story.
And a video provided by the father of one teen purportedly shows his then-16-year-old son “grossly intoxicated” at The Mark Hotel.
Theodore Weintraub, now 19, claims The Mark on East 77th Street preyed on teens like him in a bid to fend off foreclosure.
“The Mark engaged in a scheme to prioritize revenue collection by serving alcohol to underage teenagers,” Weintraub’s attorney Leo Esses writes in the counterclaim, filed last month in Manhattan Supreme Court.
The five-star hotel — a favorite of celebrities including Meghan Markle and Gigi Hadid — has been known among Upper East Side teens as a place to get served since staff “either failed to verify” their age or “overlooked” counterfeit IDs, the filing alleges.
“It was a well known fact to Theo and his circle of friends that the Mark Restaurant was a go-to spot to get served alcohol as long as one had a ‘fake’ ID,” his father, Park Avenue cardiologist Dr. Philip Weintraub, told The Post.
The teen was first sued by The Mark in July, accused of initiating a smear campaign against the luxury hotel after he was banned for repeatedly trying to order alcohol.
