Fired right before 2 weeks PTO NYC

Hello, I was fired from my job in nyc without notice on a Wednesday, two days before my approved two weeks PTO. My former employer has stated that they will not honer my PTO. They referred me to the employee handbook which I signed 3 years ago, which after reading through has the following sentence. “Employees terminated involuntarily will forfeit all unused accrued PTO, unless otherwise covered by law.” They also never gave me a termination letter or mention anything about unemployment. They suggested I take up cobra in order to continue my medical insurance. I was wondering if I have any legal grounds in pursuing my unpaid PTO/damages. Thanks
