The Indian-origin Democrat nominee for the NYC mayor election went on a bar crawl to six different clubs in Brooklyn. According to Rogue DNC Facebook post, he visited Gabriela, Caribbean Social Club, Damballa, Mood Ring, Papi Juice and ended the night at 100 Sutton.

He also made an unannounced stop at a gay bar in Brooklyn, where he addressed the crowd directly. “Are we ready to beat Andrew Cuomo? Are we ready to win a city we can afford? Are we ready to make history?” Mamdani asked. “Let’s go out and do it. Thank you, my friends,” he added.

“So it’s 1am and Zohran just showed up at the gay bar,” read the caption of one video posted on X.

Zohran Mamdani has run one of the most visible election campaigns in recent years, frequently going out in public to meet voters. Despite a night of partying with constituents, he showed up for additional campaigning on Sunday. He was seen at the New York City marathon in Brooklyn’s Greenpoint on Sunday morning.
