Billionaire John Catsimatidis threatens to close Gristedes chain if Zohran Mamdani elected NYC mayor [View all]
I'm not sure Catsimatidis is allowed to donate to Mamdani in this manner under campaign finance law.

{Gristedes is genuinely an appalling store).
I had to shop there for about a year because it was close to my first apartment, and hoo boy.

Like take the worst supermarket in your town, triple the prices, and then replace all the produce with the produce your store had to throw away.

The best way I can sum up Gristede's is, the one and only time I went to buy meat at one, I saw a woman poking a hole in each plastic-wrapped chicken container, sniffing it, and putting it back. When she saw me looking, she turned to me, shrugged, and said, "I just can't keep returning rotten meat."

I know only so many people care about New York City, and I respect that. But I want people to know that this potatohead goober owns the consensus Worst Grocery Store Chain, for price and for quality, in a city with some truly heinous grocery stores.
