Shake Shack Settles Wage Suit, BMW's Brooklyn Restaurant, and More Intel

— The operators of Shake Shack just settled a class-action wage lawsuit filed by nine current and former managers who alleged that they were not paid adequate overtime pay. In a statement sent to DNAinfo, the Shake Shack management explains: "We believe the allegation to be untrue and we have taken steps over the years to ensure that our managers are classified appropriately....Yet, we made a strategic decision to settle the allegation, despite our position on it, in order to keep our focus on building our business, growing our terrific team and offering the best experience possible to our guests." The lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount. The NYC managers were seeking $50 for every week that they did not get the correct overtime pay — or around $2,500 each.

— The police are still looking for the man who raped a 25-year-old transgender woman in the bathroom of The Stonewall Inn on Saturday. The NYPD released security footage of the man earlier this week, and NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce explained: "People inside the Stonewall know him....We hope to have him identified in the next coming days." At a news conference earlier this week, Mayor de Blasio called the incident "very troubling." He also remarked: "Look, it’s a very disturbing incident taking place in a site that’s very important historically and where something good happened in terms of creating more opportunity for people to live their lives."

— The warehouse on the corner of Norman and Banker streets that previously housed the Brooklyn Night Bazaar is becoming a combination restaurant/work-share space/ studio/classroom/design store. The project on the Williamsburg-Greenpoint border, dubbed Amalgamated Drawing Office, is backed by BMW. The restaurant will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the menu will be similar to what you might find at a coffee shop. "Better than a coffee shop—like, but better," a rep tells Gothamist. The space is slated to open this summer.

— Cuozzo likes the fiddlehead fern pizza at Matthew Kenney's 00 + Co., but he balks at almost everything else on the menu: "Other pies may have emerged not from a woodburning oven, but from a toaster oven. Mock-mozz was wasted on innocuous tomato sauce and a spongy crust too thick for stingy toppings: airport food. On a different pie, farro-fennel 'sausage' at least provided pleasing mouth feel: We scarfed it down and left the crust."
