I do not live in Brooklyn. I am not writing a memoir. I did not attend high kindergarten.

Screenshot of the transcript from Mamdani’s live Hell Gate podcast Because it also brings me to ways of living in the city, parts of the city that I would not have been to otherwise. You're talking about disguises? Yeah, disguises. It is funny, when I don't wear my suit, it's like, it's just another brown guy with a beard. I was at the Mets game, and I was like, nobody cares, great. Nobody cares.

A glowing oval jack o lantern with ICE OUT OF NYC in block letters carved in it, sitting on a red brick East Village stoop. A fake owl aka a FUCK OFF PIGEONS owl, appears to be peeking out from behind it.

Clues 5-6 (2/2)
Clue 5 of 6: I often quote this former mayor who said "If you agree with me 9 on out of 12 issues, vote for me." If you rearrange 12 out of 12 letters of this location adjacent to a bridge named for him, you get A RAP MAY WALTZ (and yes, you get to see a psychiatrist). Clue 6 of the Mamdani scavenger hunt (special guest appearance by Max the dog below the sign): One of my favorite cafes shares the nickname of my favorite mayor of all time. And don't worry, they always remember to bloom their coffee. Travel to another borough to this cafe to end the hunt!

Clues 1-4 (1/2)
First Clue from the Mamdani scavenger hunt: "He was fresh and everyone else was tired" - whether from running against him or running on this track named after him, who's to say. Clue 2 of the Mamdani scavenger hunt: We disagree with this former mayor on mos things, but we're happy to be in the same boat with him on free public transit. Meet us outside this Manhattan terminal where you'll find the City's shining example of free transit. Clue 3 of the Mamdani Scavenger hunt: I am a member of NYC-DSA, but I would not be the first member to be elected mayor. Find your next clude at the building named after the man who was. You'll be doing us a really big favor. Clue 4 of the Mamdani scavenger hunt: Eric Adams isn't the first scandal-ridden guy to fancy himself a "nightlife mayor." Find your next clue in the park named for the mayor who led this city as it was roaring, before it all came crashing down.

How about a picture of you meeting my late dog while campaigning?
Nicoletta (RIP) expresses her sadness that dogs can’t vote in NY10. She is being comforted by her chosen candidate.

#Didthistoday Multitasking! Arizona GOTV textbanking and adopting this croissant. Meet Halloween Jack. He’s a real cool cat.
Either a small orange cat curled up on a green sofa or a croissant on a green napkin. It’s unclear.

Also, this is Chicken Pie. She is not a dog. She is the ghost of John Belushi in Animal House wearing a dog costume. Here she is at her “specialized” daycare for dogs who are too bonkers to go to regular daycare.
