Moments after the race for New York City mayor was called for Zohran Mamdani, a celebration seemingly erupted throughout Brooklyn and New York City.<\/p>\n

This mayoral election drew the largest number of voters for a NYC mayoral election since 1969<\/a>, according to the New York City Board of Elections. And Brooklynites came out to support Mamdani in droves. Bars throughout the borough were packed for watch parties that eventually turned into victory parties.<\/p>\n

Zach Rose, the manager of Franklin Park, a bar in Crown Heights, had to turn away a long line of excited voters wanting a drink, many wearing Mamdani shirts. \u201cWe\u2019ve never seen anything like this before. Not for the presidential election. Not for the Knicks. Nothing like this,\u201d he told the Eagle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mamdani\u2019s campaign was defined by his simple affordability agenda and his ability to motivate younger voters. He would be the youngest mayor the city has seen in more than 100 years, and in this race, his youth brought an unrivaled energy. One of Mamdani\u2019s final campaign events brought him on a nightclub tour of Brooklyn<\/a> over Saturday night and into Sunday morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very much a party atmosphere,\u201d AP correspondent Philip Crowther reported live from the Paramount Theater in Brooklyn, where Mamdani hosted his election watch party, after the race was called.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nowadays, a nightclub in Bushwick, hosted a special \u201c Club Zohran<\/a>\u201d event and handed out free shots to patrons to celebrate the projected win. No less than six DJs kept the party going all night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Moments after the race for New York City mayor was called for Zohran Mamdani, a celebration seemingly erupted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,7976,9,24,12238,18234,63,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-29445","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","10":"tag-brooklyn-news","11":"tag-mayoral-election","12":"tag-new-york","13":"tag-new-york-city","14":"tag-nightclubs","15":"tag-nowadays","16":"tag-nyc","17":"tag-zohran-mamdani"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29445\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
