A report in the New York Times has raised questions over Adams' nightlife habits and his relationship with the owners of two different restaurants in the city.
Adams had always said he would be out and about supporting the city's nightlife and small businesses, and so far, in his first year in office, he has been. is raising questions about whether his activity in some cases is violating the city's ethics rules.
The restaurant's owners, twin brothers Robert and Zhan Petrosyants, have a checkered past of felony convictions, unpaid tax bills, and other legal issues. The article questions if the Mayor is paying for his meals or if they are free as part of an effort for the owners to gain favor with one of the nation's most powerful Mayors."I pay every bill," Adams said. "Not the city. I pay every bill. You say, well, why don't you give receipts? What Mayor have you ever asked to get receipts for his private dinners?"
