Lady Gaga's Restaurant in NYC Overrun With Rats, Say Patrons
Lady Gaga's restaurant is the focus of ridicule after several diners at the upscale eatery witnessed several rodents inside the eatery and also around the patio area in recent days.
The restaurant, which is adjacent to Central Park, was the site of quite a scene after patrons began taking pictures of the intrusive rodents while they were still trying to finish their meals.
Several reports indicated that diners witnessed the rodents coming into the restaurant through a hole in the wall next to the patio and were eating bread crumbs that had fallen onto the floor while some were seen crawling on a few tables, according to reports from Radar Online.

Lady Gaga's family opened the restaurant in February of 2012 but was quickly met with scathing reviews that criticized the restaurants food as well as décor and ambiance.
One food critic accused the Italian restaurant of serving "calamari like leather" and it was like eating "airplane food."
Just recently in June the restaurant received another bit of negative press after the restaurant was downgraded to a "B" grade by the New York health department.
Joe Germanotta, the singers father, went on a Twitter rant to explain the downgrade in letter grade by stating that it was due having "one bad potato" in a storage bin of dozens that contained dozens of vegetables.
Just last week, on July 31, the restaurant was upgraded back to "A" with Joe once again taking to Twitter to share his excitement, saying: "Were got it back. Never give up!"
He was slightly antagonistic as well by directing one message in particular to his critics.
"Got its A grade back. funny how @nypost doesn't cover that. Where's Mr Potatohead now?" Joe posted to his Twitter account.
The restaurant is named after Gaga's aunt Joanne who died of lupus at the age of 19 and who was also described by the pop icon as her "inspiration."
