Zohran Mamdani, the frontrunner in the New York City mayoral election, has been accused of turning his back on the working class after being spotted dining at a luxurious sushi restaurant in Manhattan.
Mamdani was seen eating at Omen Azen, a high-end SoHo restaurant known for attracting affluent customers and celebrities, including Yoko Ono.
How's a so-called "working class" mayoral candidate like Zohran Mamdani eating at OMEN SUSHI tonight — one of the priciest joints in NYC? This clown lives in a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens but dines like a diplomat on a Qatar-funded per diem.
Actor and comedian Michael Rapaport shared photos of Mamdani's dinner on social media, sparking criticism of the mayoral candidate's expensive taste.
Mamdani is considered the favorite to win the election on November 4, ahead of independent candidate Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.
