NYC restaurateur speaks out after couple put on X-rated show in dining shedBy Haley Brown and Ben Kesslen

The Manhattan eatery owner whose outside dining shed has been used as a sex den says the situation makes her stomach churn — but she’s virtually helpless to stop the sleazy shenanigans.
Emmeline Zhao, proprietor of Greenwich Village’s Silver Apricot restaurant — where recent disgusting antics were caught on video revealed by The Post — blamed the city and cops Sunday for failing to help her curb the shameless conduct.
“Truly, the lack of guidance from the city is frustrating,” the 33-year-old owner said. “The problem is the precinct doesn’t care, either.”
Zhao said she was upset to see the video of a woman performing oral sex on a man lying against her shed’s plywood and has put up a temporary wire fence to try to keep future intruders out — but added that the cost of a real gate would be too expensive.
She said she’s caught between needing the shed and having to grapple with the undesirable fallout it brings.
