NYC man files discrimination suit over 'ladies' nights' at clubs

NEW YORK (AP) - A New York man who claims he's been discriminated against by "ladies' nights" at Manhattan nightclubs is getting his day in court. Roy Den Hollander is suing night spots over the promotions, which offer women free or discounted admission and drinks. In papers filed Friday in federal court, a lawyer for one of clubs calls the lawsuit frivolous. Deborah Donovan argues that if ladies nights are discriminatory, then so are restaurant promotions that offer "early bird" specials for the elderly or allow kids to eat free. An attorney representing another club says ladies' nights attract women, so men "may actually benefit" from the promotion and be encouraged to stop by. Hollander wants the judge to declare ladies nights unconstitutional on behalf of all men.
