I Tried It: Eating like the mayor

Mayor Eric Adams makes a health-related announcement and lead a plant-based cooking demo at King's County Hospital in Brooklyn on Monday, February 7, 2022.

Last Sunday on Weekend Edition, we talked about new vegan restaurants in New York City and about Mayor Adams' mostly vegan diet. This week, one of our reporters decided to try to eat like the mayor.

Armed with his cookbook, the mayor's social media posts about his meals and the produce section of Trader Joe's, WNYC politics reporter Giulia Heyward tried to follow the mayor's diet. She joins Weekend Edition host David Furst for another installment of "I Tried It" to tell us how it went.
