Sushi joint’s gay-wed nix ‘smelt’ fishy: suit

A Chelsea sushi restaurant canceled a planned rehearsal dinner and wedding reception when the manager discovered it was a gay couple getting hitched, a lawsuit alleges.

In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Barrett Greene, 50, and Thomas Eng, 38, say the Amber Village manager who broke the bad news, Tommy Ho, said he’d been told to cancel their events — and was fired for having booked them in the first place.

He said his manager told him “that it’s ‘very bad’ for Amber Village to book ‘gay parties,’ and that big groups of ‘gay parties’ are especially bad for feng shui,” the suit says.

Greene said the cancellation came just a week after he’d reserved the spot in advance of his June nuptials, paying a $750 deposit.

Amber Village manager Fong Lin called the accusations “ridiculous.” He said they’d had to cancel the couple’s reservation because the restaurant was moving from Sixth Avenue to a new location on Christopher Street and that Ho had been ordered not to accept any new bookings. He said when he fired Ho for incompetence after two months on the job, “he said, ‘You guys are in big trouble.”

Greene and Eng’s lawyer did not return a call for comment. “Now everything makes sense,” said Lin.
