Former New York City Mayor Eric Adams was observed riding a Citi Bike on the morning of September 2, 2026, appearing tired and wearing the same shirt he had worn to his 66th birthday celebration the previous evening. The images captured him on the Upper East Side as morning commuters were heading to work.
Adams, who has been dubbed the "party mayor" for his past late-night engagements, celebrated his birthday at Mimi's Italian restaurant and piano bar in Midtown. Photos he posted on X showed him at the venue around 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, September 1, blowing out candles and socializing with businessman John Catsimatidis, public relations executive Todd Shapiro, and sporting goods CEO Mitch Modell. The following morning, he was seen on the Citi Bike in a distinctive button-up shirt with a red stripe and brown dress pants, suggesting he had stayed out late.
During his tenure as mayor, Adams developed a reputation for frequent appearances at upscale clubs and restaurants, sometimes accompanied by celebrities.
