Osteria La Baia

Why Does NYC Mayor Eric Adams Keep Dining at Midtown Italian Restaurant Osteria La Baia? | Eater NY

"I see this Midtown Italian spot as one of Mayor Eric Adams’s regular nighttime haunts; it’s run by twin brothers Robert and Zhan Petrosyants, who — according to the New York Times — have a checkered history that includes felony convictions, unpaid tax bills and other legal issues. Times reporters staked out the restaurant and recorded the mayor visiting at least 14 times in June, raising its profile as one of his go-to dinner spots, and it’s unclear whether Adams pays his checks: reporters never saw him pay, and although a mayoral spokesperson says he pays monthly, no receipts were provided by the mayor or the restaurant." - Erika Adams
