Mamdani inauguration will close off Broadway on New Year’s Day
The new mayor’s inauguration party — traditionally held on the steps of City Hall on New Year’s Day — will spill out into Broadway this year, taking over seven blocks of Broadway from Liberty to Murray on Thursday, January 1.
The “first ever inauguration block party” will take place from 11a to 3p, but I am sure the streets will be closed all day. The actual inauguration ceremony will take place at 1p. Eventgoers will enter at Liberty.
The event is free, but registration is required. There will also be a livestream of the event.
The transition team’s website says to bring snacks and drinks, but there will be no public toilets inside what I am imagining as a seven-block chute with police barriers on either side.
NB there will be subway changes as well:
- R will skip City Hall in both directions.
- Fulton Street 2/3/4/5/A/C/J/R exit will be closed on Broadway.
- Park Place 2/3 exit will be closed on Broadway.
- There will be no access to City Hall plaza or park from the Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall 4/5/6/J station. All riders entering or exiting the station will be routed to the the Reade Street entrance.

This is the kind of planning that has me very apprehensive about his time as mayor. Let’s have a big party for thousands of people and not think that anyone will have to use a restroom. What will those people do? Pee on the street? How much would it have cost to bring in some port a potties? Thoughtlessness under the guise of magnanimity.
