Restaurant Takes Down Trump Photo Amid Yelp Complaints Only to Put it Back Up Again

READ TIME: 1 MIN.

AP reports that the owners of a German restaurant in New York have taken down an autographed photo of Donald Trump because they say it was hurting the business.

The Brooklyn Daily reported on August 3 that Schnitzel Haus owners Fred and Amber Urban say the photo of the Republican presidential nominee had been there since the restaurant opened in 2007. The Urbans were friends with Trump's head of security at the time and they say Trump dropped by to wish them good luck. He sent an autographed photo the next day.

The photo is a topic among online reviews on Yelp, with diners saying they were uncomfortable or offended.

Alas, the photo's absence from Schnitzel Haus' wall was short-lived. On August 5, in response to a Yelp user named Madel A. who said that the restaurant should put the photo back up, Afred Urban of Schnitzel Haus wrote: Thank You Madel. Think it is going back where it was for past 9.5 years."
