"Namely, Mamdani explained that he will be adding one particular must-have amenity to the bathrooms: "We will be installing a few bidets," he said. "That's an aspirational hope. But let's see if we can get it done." (Perhaps this design choice shouldn't be surprising; bidets may be the only thing more European than democratic socialism.) Bidets aside, he only named " a new coat of paint" and a cat among his planned additions to the property."
"("I am currently getting my allergy shots so that I can fight off my allergy to cats," he explained of the latter.) Other than that, we are left to imagine what Mamdani and Duwaji will do with the few belongings that the New York Times witnessed being moved into the property: "a healthy-looking monstera plant, a garbage can, and a box labeled ' bedroom dresser mirror.'""
Zohran Mamdani and his wife, artist Rama Duwaji, have moved into Gracie Mansion. The couple offered few specifics about interior decoration beyond plans to install bidets, give rooms a new coat of paint, and introduce a cat despite the mayor's allergies. Movers brought a monstera plant, a garbage can, and a box labeled 'bedroom dresser mirror.' Gracie Mansion is a 1799-built Federal-style home that has served as the city's official mayoral residence since 1942 and provides significantly more space than the couple's previous one-bedroom apartment in Astoria. Their previous Astoria apartment was prone to leaks and the mansion sits a short ferry ride away.
