Robb Report: Here’s How Congestion Pricing Could Affect Restaurant Costs in New York City

Those in the F&B industry expect that prices will go up whether you're buying food at the grocery store or dining out at a restaurant.


December 17, 2024


Congestion pricing is finally set to go into effect in New York City—but it may change more than just your commute if you’re based in the tristate area.


When tolls start on January 5, they’ll likely lead to higher prices for food at restaurants and grocery stores in N.Y.C., Eater reported on Monday. That’s because food distributors will have to pay the extra fee, which they’ll then pass on to consumers to cover the added cost.


“If you eat food in New York City . . . the cost is going to go up,” Margaret Magnarelli, the vice president of marketing for food purveyor Baldor Specialty Foods, told Eater.
