The New York Times reports today that Tavern on the Green, the famous restaurant in Central Park, will pay $2.2 million to settle a discrimination lawsuit.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission accused the restaurant of sexual and racial discrimination.
This accusation included harassment of female, black and Hispanic employees, the Times reported, in incidents dating back to 1999.
Specifically, the lawsuit says a top Tavern manager had ridiculed Hispanics as "ignorant immigrants" and made fun of their accents.
