Mom sues Manhattan cafe over breast-feeding incident
A New York City woman says a restaurant ordered her to leave the premises because she was breast-feeding her infant.
Julia Acevedo-Taylor has filed a lawsuit against Lily O'Brien's Chocolate Cafe in midtown over the incident last year. The lawsuit claims that a manager of the emporium ordered Acevedo-Taylor and a friend to stop breast-feeding their babies.
When they declined, the suit says, they were told "to leave and never come back."
Cafe owner Cathal Queally said the manager asked the women to cover up after two customers complained. She says they were not told to leave.
The cafe now has a sign in the window that reads: "Breast-feeding welcome here." - AP
