A local synagogue is suing Margaritaville

A Manhattan synagogue is suing Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville resort in Times Square, Crain’s New York Business reports. The suit dates back to 2014 when developer Sharif El-Gamal purchased the building that now houses the hotel for $61.5 million and reportedly vowed to construct a new home for the Garment Center Congregation, which was operating out of the basement of the building he was slated to demolish. The plan, according to Crain’s, was to build an area with a kosher kitchen inside of the hotel. Now completed, Margaritaville has a pool, five restaurants and bars, and 32 floors — but no synagogue.
