But new Mayor Zohran Mamdani is taking the Big Apple to the next quantum level. New York City’s Multicultural Business Coalition (MBC), which represents 50-plus chambers of commerce for Asian, African, Caribbean, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, and Jewish business owners, plans to sue Mamdani over the socialist mayor’s plan to open taxpayer-funded grocery stores in all five of the city’s boroughs. The MBC pointed to the Harlem area know as La Marqueta, where one of the city-run grocery stores is set to open. The MBC said there are five bodegas located within a few blocks of where Mamdani’s grocery store will be constructed. Mamdani insists the grocery stores backed by the tax-base of New York City will not hurt bodegas and small business: “We are not looking to compete with bodegas or grocery stores when it comes to their ability to survive.”
