It was a busy week for Eric Adams, the city’s party-loving mayor celebrating his 62nd birthday and New York Fashion Week.
A source exclusively tells Page Six that the town’s mayor was celebrating his birthday by attending various parties.
We were told that a small event, attended by about 30 guests, took place in a building that is also the home of Chelsea Clinton, though she was nowhere to be seen, with friends including the City Commissioner of International Affairs. New York, Edward Mermelstein, CEO of Silverstein Properties Marty. Burger, Real Deal founder Amir Korangy, and Zero Bond genius Scott Sartiano.
Adams also took to the stage at the Rise Up New York City concert in Staten Island on her birthday, September 1.
According to the Daily Beast, Adams was to have a birthday party at the members-only club The Ned with guests including French Montana, David Blaine and Travis Scott. Sadly, Page Six is told this is not true and Adams has been to the club only once for a tour.
The Ned’s Richie Akiva and Adams’ favorite Zero Bond club owner Sartiano previously owned 1Oak together prior to a falling out. While we hear the report is wrong, we love that it reads like a perfect piece of fiction about our mayoral kid club: “They’re fighting over Eric Adams like he’s a Victoria’s Secret model,” a source told the pub.
Adams’ communications director tells us, “The mayor had just one birthday party, with a small group of friends. The mayor is often out late, after dinner with tours of the subway, visiting homeless shelters and walking around town. He believes this is a 24-hour city and we need a 24-hour mayor.”
Adams hosted her own party at Gracie Mansion with Vogue editor Anna Wintour, whom she called “an angel who wears Prada,” and other fashion greats on Thursday.
“New York is as cool as it can be right now at Gracie Mansion with these wonderful people with swagger,” Adams told a crowd that included designers Tommy Hilfiger, Tory Burch, Thom Browne, Diane von Furstenberg, Wes Gordon, Michael Kors, Aurora James, Stacey Bendet and Cynthia Rowley.
Adams also praised the industry as “a $600 million juggernaut this week alone,” noting that it’s “double what we made if we had the Super Bowl here.”
Also in the room, rubbing elbows with the celebrity groupie mayor, were models Emily Ratajkowski, Karlie Kloss, Shalom Harlow, CFDA director Steven Kolb, and the Met’s Andrew Bolton.
Adams walked the Met Gala carpet in May in a tuxedo that read “End Gun Violence” and sat front row last season at a Michael Kors show. Next, he will be the guest of honor at a “pasta ribbon cutting” for a new Serafina Express.
Adams is not ashamed to put the party in political party. The New York Times reported the mayor as saying, “People thought this town was a 9 to 5 town. It was just a flannel suit town. And suddenly January 2022 comes along and the mayor walks in and says he’s the mayor of nightlife.”
Page Six has reported on Adams’ countless nights out at clubs like Zero Bond and Aman NY and his attendance at celebrity events like French Montana’s album release, Jennifer Lopez’s Tribeca Festival celebration and hip-hop’s 49th birthday. with KRS One. He also recently dated Paris Hilton and her friends at a private club in Los Angeles.
Another source tells Page Six exclusively that the recent NY Times report on the mayor’s late-night habits, which claimed he went out a whopping 22 times in a month, was actually too low. We heard that he was out most nights, but that the reporters who tracked down the mayor went home around 11 pm, while the mayor was sometimes in town until later.
