Mayor Mamdani and Rama Duwaji begin move from Astoria to Gracie Mansion
From a one-bedroom apartment in Astoria to the Upper East Side's iconic Gracie Mansion: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his wife, artist Rama Duwaji, have begun their move to the traditional mayoral residence.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani moved into Gracie Mansion over the weekend.
"We will miss much about our home in Astoria," Mayor Mamdani said previously. "Cooking dinner side by side in our kitchen, sharing a sleepy elevator ride with our neighbors in the evening, hearing music and laughter vibrate through the walls of the apartment."
"This decision came down to our family's safety and the importance of dedicating all of my focus on enacting the affordability agenda New Yorkers voted for," Mamdani added. "While I may no longer live in Astoria, Astoria will always live inside me and the work I do."

Mamdani announces $4 million investment to expand public bathroom access
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is leading an effort to take on an age-old problem that affects everyone, from small children to the elderly: a lack of public restrooms.
On Saturday, the mayor signed an order budgeting $4 million towards expanding access to public restrooms as part of a new city program.
"In a city that has everything, the one thing that is often impossible to find is a public bathroom," Mamdani said.
"In the greatest city in the world, you should not have to spend $9 to buy a coffee just to be able to find a little relief."
The money will be used to field proposals for what he calls "high quality modular facilities."
Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the city is launching a new program to expand public bathroom access.
