NEW YORK, NY — Chicken Tikka Masala has replaced New York-style pizza, bagels with cream cheese, and pastrami as the City’s official dish.
Mamdani campaigned on changing New York, and food is “where we start changing the identity of our City.”
The decision has upset Italians. “Tikka masala? Over my pastrami!” cried Brooklyn deli owner Sal Russo. Bagel fans protested as well. Mamdani, unfazed, insists the dish reflects New York’s new palate.
Plans are underway to replace hot dog carts with curry trucks and rebrand the city with a “Curry up to NYC” campaign.
At publishing time, pizzerias were asking Dave Portnoy to chase the curry out of town.
