Catched from the NYtimes

Former Mayor Eric Adams and some conservative-leaning Jewish leaders criticized the revocation of his executive orders, one of which he signed just last month.

Seemingly overnight, T-shirts with the likeness of the new mayor have become common in New York City.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani of New York canceled executive orders issued by his predecessor that had barred city agencies from boycotting Israel and defined some criticism of Israel as antisemitic.

Among them, benefits for minimum wage workers, cancer patients and parents of young children. Also, a change to child abuse reporting.

The Grammy-winning singer, part of the supergroup boygenius, followed a performance by Mandy Patinkin, who sang “Over the Rainbow.”

A communal spectacle, spilling out of City Hall into the streets of Broadway, conveyed how many New Yorkers see the promise in a Zohran Mamdani mayoralty.

Zohran Mamdani gave his first public speech as mayor of New York City, after an inauguration that drew tens of thousands of people.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed a flurry of executive orders on his first day as mayor of New York City. They were aimed at protecting tenants and revoking some of ex-Mayor Eric Adams’s past orders.

Mr. Mamdani reaffirmed that he would govern New York City as a democratic socialist and assured even those who had not voted for him: “I am your mayor.”

The New Year’s Eve celebration drew spectators from around the world, despite cold and blustery weather.
