The owners of the Plaza Hotel are suing the operators of The Oak Room and Bar for $33 million, claiming the once refined and famous bar is now a sleazy drug den. The lawyers for the operators say the Plaza has been trying to kick them out for months are they are reaching to find a breach of lease, while the suit claims they allow illegal drug use, have let the quality of the bar and restaurant slip, and encourage "raucous and/or vulgar" conduct.
