Class Certification Granted in Landmark ACAL Lawsuit Against The Museum of Ice Cream

On April 22, 2025, the Honorable Lizette Colon of the Supreme Court of New York, County of Richmond issued an Order granting Plaintiff’s motion for class certification in the case captioned Cammayo v. 1and8, Inc. d/b/a Museum of Ice Cream, Index No. 150173/2024 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. Richmond Cnty.).  Plaintiff alleges the Museum of Ice Cream violated New York Arts & Cultural Affairs law § 25.07(4) by failing to disclose the total cost of its tickets, inclusive of all ancillary fees that must be paid, prior to the ticket being selected for purchase.

Judge Colon’s order is a tremendous victory as it marks the first ever granting of a contested motion for class certification under the ACAL.  Plaintiff is represented by Philip L. Fraietta, Stefan Bogdanovich, and Eleanor R. Grasso.
