A Manhattan woman has sued a lower East Side restaurant, claiming she was conked in the head by a moosehead that fell off a wall. The 150-pound moosehead with antlers spanning over 3 feet, was the centerpiece of the restaurant’s back party room. In a suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Raina Kumra, 32, said she was standing under the moosehead about 1 a.m. on Oct. 4 when it came dislodged and crowned her.
Kumra is now suing White Slab Palace, a Scandinavian-inspired hipster hangout on Delancey St., for an unspecified amount, charging the owners were “grossly careless” in mounting the taxidermy wildlife. The restaurant “had a duty to provide … an environment free from falling objects,” the suit charges.
Kumra said she suffered a concussion when clobbered on the head in the party room packed with patrons. Since the incident, Kumra has lost cognitive skills and suffered chronic neck pain, fatigue, dizzy spells and anxiety from mounting medical expenses, the suit says. Sundvik, who also owns Good Bar & Grill in Chinatown, did not immediately return calls for comment. A manager at the restaurant refused to comment, saying she hadn’t heard of the suit.
