UES Hotel Bully Hides Behind Park Ave Doormen To Dodge Suit: Lawyer

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — First the boy denied booze hid in a Cadillac Escalade as protesters he paid yelled false accusations about Jeffery Epstein and mice at mega-luxury hotel staff, now he's hiding from legal papers behind his Park Avenue doormen, attorneys contend.

Lawyers for The Mark wrote a letter Friday to a Manhattan civil courts judge asking for help accessing Theodore Weintraub, 19, the would-be minor imbiber they accuse of mounting a defamatory campaign against the hotel that carded him, court records show.

"My process servers have been blocked by Defendant Weintraub’s doormen from going upstairs to deliver the motion papers to Defendant Weintraub personally," writes Alexander Klein.

"They have also attempted to serve Defendant Weintraub outside of his home, but such endeavors have proven unsuccessful."

Patch did not receive immediate responses to requests for comment left with the hotel’s attorney and Weintraub.

Klein asks Justice Lisa Headley either for more time to serve papers to the teen or that she she allow previously sent copies — delivered to the doormen, emailed to the gen-z boy and sent via overnight FedEx — to satisfy the obligations of service.

For lawsuits to proceed, defendants must be served with court papers, including the summons, complaint, petition and other documents in an opening legal salvo.

Curiously, the letter also states that the teen and his cardiologist father, Phillip Weintraub, even spoke with the hotel's attorney over the phone on the same day that he learned about the suit from a Patch reporter.

Only three days after that call, Weintraub told his doorman not to let a process server up to his apartment when buzzed, despite coming down just a day earlier to be photographed by an ace photographer from the New York Post.

“The truth will come out," Weintraub told the Post.

After four more visits from process servers — and hours of waiting outside his pricy Park Avenue building — Weintraub, and the truth, remained holed up inside.

Weintraub's astroturf campaign against The Mark is the result of a two-year-long grudge held by the still-underaged lad when he was banned from the swanky bar after repeated —and "increasingly aggressive" — attempts to get boozed up with a fake ID, the suit claims.

Starting in June, Weintraub, and others who the suit and hotel workers claim are being paid to participate, has protested and agitated outside the hotel, shouting chants like “The Mark has mice, The Mark supports Epstein, pedophiles, bald head,’" one worker told Patch.

Sometimes, the suit claims, Weintraub and his crew would be outside for hours into the night, adding that fights had broken out on some occasions.

"All these different chants all day…It’s the craziest thing we’ve ever had to deal with," the worker said.

Since Patch first reported the story, Weintraub's sad crusade has made the front page of the New York Post — with the headline "SORE BOOZER" — and was a top story at the New York Times over the weekend.
