Hochul throws shade on Mamdani's NYC-owned grocery store plan
Gov. Kathy Hochul threw cold water Saturday on socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's proposal to bring government-owned-and-operated grocery stores to the Big Apple. 'I favor free enterprise,' Hochul told business leaders at a Hamptons breakfast hosted by supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis, when asked about Mamdani's pie-in-the-sky plan. The response drew huge applause from attendees, including Catsimatidis. 3 Socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's proposal to bring government-owned-and-operated grocery stores to the Big Apple was slammed Saturday by Gov. Kathy Hochul. James Keivom The Gristedes supermarket owner later told The Post Mamdani's plan would fail miserably, pointing to failures at a Kansas City, Mo.-owned grocery store that closed Monday after years of being a huge money pit for taxpayers and being plagued by rampant shoplifting and empty shelves. Kansas City reportedly invested $18 million the past decade trying to keep the store afloat. 3 'I favor free enterprise,' Hochul (left) told business leaders at a Hamptons breakfast hosted by supermarket mogul John Catsimatidis (right). Obtained by NY Post 'New York City is a capitalist city – look what happened in Kansas City?' he said of the now-shuttered Sun Fresh Market. 'These types of grocery stores just don't work.' Hochul, a moderate Democrat, has yet to made an endorsement in the mayoral race. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee and frontrunner heading in November's mayoral election, has proposed opening five municipal grocery stores — one in each borough — and potentially expanding to a larger network of stores. 3 Mamdani has proposed opening five municipal grocery stores — one in each borough — and potentially expanding to a larger network of stores. James Keivom He's estimated the first five would cost $60 million combined to build. Critics have said they fear Mamdani's plan to create 'Soviet' markets would leave customers stuck with just one brand or generic brands of items like bread and milk. They also said that fixed prices at city-run markets could force competing private businesses like Gristedes to shutter, leaving New Yorkers with less selection. Mamdani's campaign declined to comment.

Iconic NYC bagel brand H&H will open in Chapel Hill
H&H Bagels is making its North Carolina debut with a shop in Chapel Hill's University Place opening later this year. Why it matters: H&H is a legendary New York City bagel brand with a huge following, and it's etched its place in pop culture with appearances in shows like "Sex and the City" and "Seinfeld." The big picture: H&H plans to open five locations in the Triangle, the News & Observer reported earlier this year. This is part of a larger Connecticut-to-California expansion the bagel-maker is planning. Dig in: H&H has been serving "artisanal water bagels" since the '70s. They're still kettle-boiled in the Big Apple with New York tap, and then baked to order on location, Axios' Anna Spiegel reported. A spokesperson told Anna that "the magic of New York City water" is all about its minerality — soft water makes for "tender" dough — neutral pH for ideal fermentation and consistency. Details: The Chapel Hill store will be at 239 S. Estes Dr., Suite 101, an H&H spokesperson confirmed to Axios. They declined to share additional locations, though a press release indicated Raleigh and Durham will also have H&H locations. The bottom line: The Triangle, a hotspot for relocated New Yorkers, has been growing its offering of high-quality bagel shops — from Benchwarmers in Raleigh to Isaac's in Durham to Brandwein's in Chapel Hill.
