One Big Apple official invested in a restaurant serving up Chicago-style, deep-dish pizza.
Another put her money into a start-up launched by her sister that hopes to make a fortune by manufacturing fashionable sneakers in Brooklyn.
And a third, the environmental protection commissioner, owned stock in Exxon Mobil and another company that operates a coal-fired power plant.
The revelations come from financial-disclosure documents for 2013 made available last week by the Conflict of Interest Board.
They show that Robert Kulikowski, director of the mayor’s Office of Environmental Coordination, is a partner in Benito’s Chicago Eatery, a decidedly non-New-York-style pizzeria run by a relative in the pizza wastelands of Seattle.
Kulikowski didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Sanitation boss Kathryn Garcia usually rocks high heels at work, but she’s also a seed investor in her sister Molly McIver’s sneaker business, McIver Inc.
McIver plans to produce small runs of high-fashion sneakers, and already has several designs sketched up.“They’re very edgy, I’m not sure I will ever wear these sneakers,” said Garcia.
Environmental Protection Commissioner Emily Lloyd, meanwhile, owned between $5,000 and $43,999 in stock of American Electric Power, which runs a coal power plant. But a rep said she has now sold those shares.
