Ruby was the owner and chef of a well known restaurant in Manhattan called "Ruby's Place." On February 1, Ruby sold her restaurant to Gina for $200,000. The contract stated that Gina would continue to operate the restaurant under the name "Ruby's Place." The contract further stated that Ruby would not open a competing restaurant (1) within the borough of Manhattan for four years and (2) anywhere within the state of New York for two years. On July 1, Gina discovered that Ruby had opened two new restaurants. One of the restaurants is located only three blocks away from "Ruby's Place." The second restaurant is located 300 miles away from Manhattan in Lake Mina, New York.
What rights, if any, does Gina have against Ruby? Separately discuss Gina's rights regarding the Manhattan restaurant and the Lake Mina Restaurant.
