NYC Education Officials Feast on $745K at Favored Eatery, Taxpayers Foot the Bill – Twitchy

Must be nice to be a favorite eatery among the Education set. It certainly pays well.

Talk about eating your feelings. 🤦🏼 https://t.co/c1aZgn7IfA

Apparently, those scholarly pursuits sure work up quite an appetite. 

$745K in DOE funds blown at one restaurant in a single year. $1.4M since 2016.

That restaurant? Fusion East, owned by Andrew Walcott—who just happens to sit on Mayor Adams’s Small Business Advisory Commission.

Coincidence? Or proof the DOE has become a $38B feeding ground for… pic.twitter.com/TACQho1Jk7

That seems very chummy.

Only if it is expensive cake.

No more meals and hotel stays on the taxpayers. We have this thing called the interwebs where everyone can meet online.

The days of transparency are going to be tough on the people who spend taxpayer dollars like they are unlimited. 

Those Democrats in NYC are robbing taxpayer’s blind.

And not even blinking an eye.

Wild how NYC always cries about budget but has no problem blowing cash like this; priorities are seriously messed up.

Apparently, their main priority is figuring out new ways to shake taxpayers down and then spending their money frivolously. 

Dirty secret:

All the minority and female empowerment government programs end up being about stealing from tax payers

Reparations don’t need to be paid
They’ve already been taken
Literally just taken

DEI was always just a shakedown. It’s never been about helping the less fortunate or providing additional opportunities to those who were overlooked in the past. 

People’s taxes are like Monopoly money to these pieces of s***

Apparently, the perks are really good though.

NY needs its own DOGE.

— RosieGeigs (@rmgeig) August 5, 2025

New York absolutely needs DOGE, stat! In fact, they also need Florida’s new FAFO program, too. They need ALL the transparency. 

Wonder if there is a connection between this restaurant and someone in the DOE. How many other businesses are receiving money?

That would be an interesting link for some enterprising journalist to research. 

The Democrats in NYC waste so much money.

It’s their favorite pastime.

Oh I’m so glad the educrats treat themselves so well while us lowly teachers will be spending around $500 of our own money on copy paper, chart paper, post its, bulletin board paper, etc. but hey as long as the pencil pushers are well fed our test scores will improve.

Surely the full bellies of the fat cats will help the kids learn to Math.
