Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Charles Ramos, J.).
Plaintiff, which leased premises to be used exclusively as a family style "Roy Rogers" restaurant, attempted to sell food under the trade names "Nathan's" and "Dunkin Donuts", claiming that it was merely engaged in a permissible expansion of its menu.
After the defendant served various notices to cure, the parties stipulated that the landlord would take no further actions to terminate the tenancy. The stipulation was "so ordered". Nevertheless, defendant alleges plaintiff proceeded to "expand" its product line further. When the landlord served additional notices to cure in response to these subsequent expansions, the IAS court properly granted Yellowstone relief in response to the particular circumstances presented. Furthermore, the IAS court did not abuse its discretion by requiring, as conditions for the granting of an injunction, a financial undertaking and a restriction on tenant's window displays (see, 7 W. Foods v Forty-Seventh Fifth Co., 109 A.D.2d 658).
