Lower East Side Restaurant Sued After Patron Claims A Moose Head Fell Off the Wall

MANHATTAN — A woman is suing a Lower East Side bar after a 150-pound decorative moose head fell off the wall and slammed into her head, the Associated Press reported.

Raina Kumra filed a lawsuit last week against the White Slab Palace on Delancey Street near Allen Street, claiming she got a concussion and other injuries during the Oct. 4 mishap.

The massive stuffed beast was part of the Scandinavian-themed restaurant’s décor, and came with a set of 3-foot-wide antlers, the AP reported.

A restaurant review on UrbanDaddy.com praised White Slab for its “whimsical, somewhat rustic” interior and included photos of other taxidermied animals inside the bar, including what looks like a small bear.

A woman answering the phones at the White Slab declined to comment. The restaurant is reportedly owned by Annika Sundvick, whose restaurant Good World — where a massive moose head hung behind the bar, according to a NY Magazine photo — closed in March.
