There’s apparently no such thing as “ladies night.”

A New York attorney has filed a class action lawsuit against several Manhattan nightclubs, alleging that by hosting “ladies nights” they are engaged in unlawful gender discrimination. He is seeking a declaratory judgment that the nightclub policies in question constituted “state action” due to their regulation by the state Alcoholic Beverage Division. Such a finding would be necessary for the nightclubs to be liable under Section 1983.
