Hours before Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani holds an inauguration block party outside City Hall, he will officially become mayor in a small private ceremony.
Officials in Vermont and Buffalo, N.Y., warned residents to stay off the roads as a winter weather system brought thick sheets of ice and snow. Tens of thousands of power customers faced outages.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani loves his Astoria, Queens, neighborhood, and the feeling is mutual. But voters who live near Gracie Mansion, his new home, really wanted his opponent to win.
Gracie Mansion, the home to mayors for generations, boasts 11,000 square feet of living and entertaining space, a spacious backyard perched over the East River and full-time security.
Zohran Mamdani campaigned for mayor on a platform of taming the high cost of living for New Yorkers. Visitors will get a crash course in the affordability crisis.
