Mamdani Dines at Palestinian Restaurant Chain Criticized for ‘From the River to the Sea’ Menu on Oct. 7

  • Mayor Zohran Mamdani dined Wednesday at Ayat Hinds Hall, a Palestinian restaurant on Manhattan's Upper West Side, as New York marked the third anniversary of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.
  • The Ayat chain faced scrutiny for a menu section titled 'From the River to the Sea,' which the Anti-Defamation League described as an antisemitic call for Israel's destruction, though owners rejected the characterization.
  • Named for Hind Rajab, a 5-year-old Palestinian girl killed in Gaza in January 2024, the restaurant also references Columbia University protesters who renamed Hamilton Hall 'Hind's Hall' during their 2024 campus takeover.
  • Mamdani faced repeated hostility Wednesday, beginning with confrontations at an Oct. 7 vigil for Hamas attack victims and escalating as protesters shouted 'genocide' while he departed the establishment.
  • His dinner occurred amid intense backlash over a statement posted on Oct. 7, reflecting the political pressure the mayor faces from activists on both sides of the conflict.
