NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York City Mayor Eric Adams took to social media on Wednesday to share a unique farewell tribute on his last day in office, reading some of his “go-to quotes” over a cup of coffee.
“Mayor Adams’ greatest hits, you know,” he said, waving an engraved mug given to him by his staff.
He then tried to read some of the quotes out loud, laughing between each sentence.
“’I sometimes wake up in the morning and look at myself and give myself the finger,’” he read. “‘Stay focused, no distractions and work.’ … “It’s not what’s in the tweet, it’s what’s in the streets.”

“’There are two types of Americans, those who live in New York and those who wish they could,’” he continued. “‘Arrested, rejected, and now I’m elected.’ “I look like Gandhi.” “I had a little one living there.” “Every morning I wake up and turn on my GPS, my God positioning satellite. “…Have your cup, man!”
He thanked his City Hall team for the parting gift in an accompanying X-post and noted, “It’s been an honor, New York!”
