THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. HARRY MERCADO, Appellant.

The accusatory instrument contained sufficient factual allegations. Although there was no allegation that defendant displayed the unstamped cigarettes he possessed, the allegation that he was calling out "Cigarettes, loosies" established an offer to sell those cigarettes, since the conduct alleged had no other reasonable interpretation ( cf. People v Lewis, 50 AD3d 595, lv denied 11 NY3d 790 [in probable cause context, announcement to passersby "I got tickets, Billy Joel tickets," in front of Madison Square Garden had no rational explanation except offer to sell]).

Defendant's remaining contentions are unavailing ( see People v Correa, 15 NY3d 213).
