“…She was brought to Lenox Hill Hospital, where she required surgery and a four day stay. Doctors found a 
micro perforation of her trachea and she was unable to speak for two weeks after being discharged…”
An Upper East Side restaurant that specializes in serving fish is now choking on a lawsuit because of a tiny little bone that lodged in the throat of one of its customers. Claire Amiano, a Michael Kors specialist at Saks, is suing Fulton NYC, a fish restaurant on East 75th Street, saying that she needed emergency throat surgery in August 2012 because a filet of fish she ordered for dinner was not entirely deboned as promised.
Papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court say when Amiano started to choke, employees called 911 and offered her olive oil and bread to dislodge the bone.
Fulton is owned by Joseph Gurrera who founded the small local chain of Citarella stores which offer high end groceries. He also created Tutto Italiano, an Italian specialty shop.
