These aren’t the kind of dogs Shake Shack wants to be known for.
A Manhattan woman claims the Upper East Side outlet of the famed burger and hot-dog chain was a little too friendly to canine clients and their owners.
Cindy Cirlin says she was injured when she was knocked down by a dog that was leashed to one of the East 86th Street restaurant’s chairs, according to a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed last week.
Shake Shack “was negligent in its failure to protect [Cirlin] from the anticipated dangers of allowing dogs to be attached by leashes to its flimsy and unanchored chairs,” Cirlin charges in court papers.
Cirlin wants $2 million in damages. Shake Shack did not respond to a request for comment.
