The Block Party of Zohran Mamdani was certainly a bust as he was officially inaugurated as New York City's latest mayor during a swearing-in ceremony.
Thousands of his fans were seen lining up the streets to celebrate the new mayor, who arrived in a taxi. But they were left so upset by the bash the socialist pol had promised.
Nearly 10,000 people stood outside the City Hall during the event, billed as an inauguration for a new era block party by his team and staff.
So many had to be crammed into barricaded pens without access to bathrooms or any kind of food concession stands. "It's definitely not a block party,"- one upset resident shared.
She says that there should have been food and music at the New Year's event that promised festivities, but what they got in return was far from that.
They were just stuck behind barricades, watching it all on television. Nevertheless, many are excited to see what's next in terms of changes for NYC.
