Where NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Is Eating in New York

"New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani loves dining out in his hometown. Food has been part of his public image, from growing up and working across the boroughs, his rapping days as Mr. Cardamom, his time as New York State Assemblymember, to his successful mayoral campaign. In talking about making the city more affordable for New Yorkers, Mamdani has honed in on ways the restaurant industry has been challenged, such as the high cost of halal carts."

"All the while, he's known for supporting, highlighting, and more importantly, enjoying the breadth of New York City's culinary scenes, with a special intentional focus on the independent, mom-and-pop, and street food operations that make dining out in the city great and fun. Eater NY will be tracking where Mamdani dines out during his time as the mayor of New York City. So far, this includes Queens restaurants Boishakhi, Kabab King, and Zaab Zaab"
