It might be known as a high-class haven for boldfaced names, but to its Park Avenue neighbors, Omar’s at Vaucluse is just a noisy gin mill that needs to be shuttered and silenced.
Ever since nightlife guru Omar Hernandez opened his “lounge” inside the bistro Vaucluse at 575 Park Ave., residents of the luxury co-op The Beekman have been plagued by noise and vibrations, the building owners claims in a new Manhattan lawsuit.
Since it opened in March 2018, the Upper East Side space has been a magnet for luminaries, including Spike Lee, who was there to celebrate the legendary Harry Belafonte’s birthday and later hosted his own Black History Month bash at the lounge that drew Samuel L. Jackson, Robert De Niro, Gayle King and John Turturro.
Jackie Kennedy Onassis’ sister, Lee Radziwill, dined at Hernandez’ hotspot, as did disgraced broadcaster Matt Lauer and the even more disgraced lawyer Michael Cohen.
In March, Donald Trump Jr., his brother Eric and others hit Omar’s for the 50th birthday party of Donald’s galpal Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Cuba Gooding Jr has popped in, as did former Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
But those who live in The Beekman, where a two-bedroom can sell for $2 million, don’t care which stars are shining in the noisy club.
Vaucluse, which gave up half its space to Hernandez’ popular club, is violating the lease which requires them to provide a “top tier” restaurant in the 16-story building, The Beekman charges.
The restaurant says it has “always been a good neighbor,” according to a spokeswoman.
“All parts of Vaucluse, including Omar at Vaucluse, are first class, top-tier restaurants with top-class clientele, many of which are neighbors,” Jonna Gerlich said in a statement, calling the court filing “regretful.”
