Vendors of essential items such as food, water, gas and batteries are prohibited from price-gouging during the tempest, warned New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. And as public transportation shuts down, the law against emergency-time inflation also applies to taxi drivers, he said.

So, don't think about bringing bottled water and flashlight batteries into Gotham, unless you are prepared to do the time, if you do the crime.
