Former NYC mayor Eric Adams pedals city bike after all-night birthday celebration

Eric Adams was photographed riding a Citi Bike on the Upper East Side the morning after his 66th-birthday party, still wearing the same rumpled shirt from the night before.

On Tuesday night Eric Adams marked his 66th birthday with a party at Mimi’s Italian Restaurant and Piano Bar on Second Avenue and 52nd Street, sharing the occasion with billionaire John Catsimatidis, public-relations executive Todd Shapiro and sporting-goods CEO Mitch Modell. He posted images of the celebration, including a cake-cutting moment around 10:30 p.m. The following morning, at roughly 8:03 a.m., he was captured on the Upper East Side riding a Citi Bike while still dressed in the same rumpled button-down shirt and brown trousers from the evening.

Commuters passing by noted his exhausted demeanor as he pedaled past 46th Street near Madison Avenue. The sight revived the “walk of shame” trope, highlighting Adams’ reputation as a nightlife-focused former mayor who often mingles with celebrities and high-profile business figures.

Why it matters

The incident underscores the former mayor’s continued public visibility and his reputation for late-night socializing.
