When a young journalist tried recently to ask Mayor Eric Adams a question about pro-Palestinian demonstrations, Mr. Adams took the exchange in an unusual direction.
“You look like you’ve been working out, man,” the mayor said at his news conference on Tuesday. “You’ve got that summer body going.”

As he speaks with pride on how many of his top cabinet officials are women, he has also noted how they lead while wearing high heels, mentioning Louboutin shoes with their signature red soles.
