$13 for a beer in NYC isn't bad these days.
Despite what Trump says - "affordability" is actually an issue.

No, $13 for a beer in NYC is not considered cheap in 2025. It's actually on the higher end of average for a standard pint at a bar, and can feel outright pricey depending on the spot, the beer, and whether it's happy hour.Current NYC Beer Price Breakdown (as of November 2025)
- Dive bars or happy hour deals: $5–$8 for a domestic pint (e.g., Bud Light, PBR, or Narragansett). Some legendary spots like Rudy's or McSorley's still hit $4–$6 during specials.
- Average neighborhood bar (non-touristy, non-craft): $8–$11 for a pint. This is the sweet spot for most Brooklyn or outer-borough spots.
Zohran Kwame Mamdani, the democratic socialist who was elected New York City mayor on November 4, 2025, jetted to San Juan, Puerto Rico, just two days later to attend the annual SOMOS conference—a longstanding post-election gathering for New York politicians, lobbyists, union leaders, and insiders.
The conference took place at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan, a beachfront resort described on its official site as an "iconic paradise" with 17 acres of tropical grounds, nine restaurants, a spa, tennis courts, and an oceanfront pool complex.
- Standard nightly rates during early November 2025: $700–$800 for most room types (ocean-view king, junior suites, etc.), based on Hilton's booking engine for those dates.
- Higher-end suites or villas can exceed $1,200–$4,500 per night, though attendees typically stay in standard blocks.
- For a typical 3–6 night stay (Mamdani arrived Thursday and planned to leave Saturday), the room alone could cost $2,100–$4,800 per person, excluding taxes, resort fees (~$100/night), flights, meals, or events.
