BREAKING: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani is fulfilling his campaign promise to open 5 city-run grocery stores across NYC. The stores will:
- Offer staple goods at a reduced price, subsidized by the city.
- Contract a private vendor to run the stores who will be required to pay workers union wages. La Marqueta in East Harlem, first opened as a public market by Mayor LaGuardia in 1936, will house one of the stores.
