NEW YORK — New York Mayor Eric Adams enjoyed a two-hour dinner with Andrew Cuomo at a popular Italian restaurant in Manhattan on Tuesday night, raising eyebrows from critics of the former governor, who resigned last year amid a flurry of sexual misconduct accusations.
Fabien Levy, Adams’ press secretary, defended the lengthy dinner at Osteria La Baia in Midtown, saying that the mayor regularly hobnobs with various former government officials “to talk about governance, which is particularly important in these unprecedented times.”
“There was nothing political about the conversation, and the mayor stands by his earlier comments that the former governor should have stepped down, as he did,” Levy said Wednesday.
