A New Yorker has filed a $15 million lawsuit against a Burger King franchise in downtown Manhattan, alleging that the fast-food restaurant allowed 'rampant drug dealing' in and around its premises. The lawsuit claims that the franchise facilitated an 'open air' drug den, a charge vehemently denied by the franchise owner who expressed a desire for the alleged criminal activity to cease.
The Burger King in question is located near the World Trade Center in Manhattan's financial district, an area known for its high-rise office buildings and businesses. Despite its prime location, the restaurant appeared worn down, with few customers observed entering or exiting without making purchases.
