Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday that he believes he’s “leaving this city in good shape” when he wraps up his tenure at City Hall in December — but he issued a four-word warning to his eventual successor: “Don’t f**k it up.”
That choice-worded phrase, the mayor claimed, was something former Mayor Mike Bloomberg told him when he took office four years ago. This time around, with the sun setting on the Adams administration, he encouraged the man who would follow him into office not to backtrack on the progress made since then.
