Crowds descended on Manhattan’s City Hall Park for the inauguration celebration of Mayor Zohran Mamdani on January 1.

Video filmed by New York State Assembly Member Khaleel Anderson shows hundreds of people gathered in front of City Hall on New Year’s Day despite sub-freezing temperatures.

Local reports said progressive leaders such as Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez were due to speak during the ceremony, which would be followed by a block party with music. Credit: Khaleel Anderson via Storyful
