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.

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 mayor-elect’s turnaround came as he selected Kamar Samuels to lead New York City’s school system at a precarious moment.

Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect, announced several key appointments who could help implement central promises of his agenda, including universal child care.
