Two waitresses are suing the Second Avenue bar where they worked, alleging their managers forced them to get weighed regularly, tracked their information in a spreadsheet and made constant jokes at their expense.
Kristen McRedmond and Alexandria Lipton filed a $15 million harassment lawsuit against the Sutton Place Restaurant.
A state appeals court ruled it could proceed.
The women allege they were fired from their jobs shortly after complaining about the forcible weigh-ins.
In the lawsuit, McRedmond alleged her boss constantly subjected her to vulgar sexual comments, comments about her weight and inappropriate touching.
A lawyer for the bar told The New York Post his clients were disappointed the state appeals court allowed the lawsuit to proceed, but "look forward to vindicating ourselves at trial."
