Zohran Mamdani has been talking about affordability, community, and making life easier for working people. Then his victory party rolled around and supporters walked into a bar setup where a Bud Light cost $13. The event took place at the newly renovated Brooklyn Paramount, a venue that looks impressive but is known for high prices. The mood shifted fast once people saw the menu.
The drink list read like something out of a Midtown hotel lobby:
- $13 for PBR and Bud Light
- $16 for Montauk Summer Ale
- $15 for a glass of Riesling
- $22 for an espresso martini cooler
