Rat infestation plagues Manhattan restaurants, sparking lawsuits and health department closures.

A Manhattan couple found a dead rat in their takeout order from a Korean restaurant called Gammeeok, sparking a bitter dispute with the restaurant owner. The couple claimed that the manager was unsympathetic and that they were seeking an apology, which never came. The restaurant denied the claims and plans to take legal action against the couple. The restaurant had a C rating, the lowest mark a restaurant can receive to remain in operation, and had racked up 79 violation points when it was inspected by the Health Department in January. The couple plans to take legal action against the restaurant.
