A Manhattan woman claims the Upper East Side outlet of the famed burger and hot-dog chain was a little too friendly to canine clients and their owners. Cindy Cirlin says she was injured when she was knocked down by a dog that was leashed to one of the East 86th Street restaurant’s chairs, according to a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed last week.
