This “block party” was a bust.

Scores of Zohran Mamdani fans who braved freezing temperatures to celebrate the new mayor as he was publicly sworn into office Thursday were left disappointed by the bash the socialist pol had promised.

Around 10,000 supporters stood outside City Hall during the event — billed as an “Inauguration for a New Era Block Party” by Mamdani’s staff — crammed into several barricaded pens without access to bathrooms or any food concession stands.

“It’s definitely not a block party,” said Danny Mahabir, 30, an Astoria resident who told The Post he’d been expecting a mix of food and music at the New Year’s Day festivities.

Instead, Mahabir, who wore three layers of clothes to stay warm, said he and others are “just stuck behind the barricades watching it on TV.”

“It’s not exactly what I was expecting,” said Brooklyn resident Shane Turner, 30. “I was expecting food and music.”

LOL!

They'd best get used to it. I'm afraid this is just the first of a long string of disappointments.

I just saw in another thread that Muslims may not use toilet paper and may squat in places and even clean themselves in public pools or from public fountains.

This is unconventionally “hygienic.” One Muslim lady bragged they wash, instead of wiping, so who am I to say they are wrong?

Come on, liberals, publicly drop your trousers and join in the fun.

And please, learn that “temperature” is all in the mind.

Respect Muslims!

Commies do great parties for their ‘elites’ but ‘the people’? Not so much.

It’s a big club, Danny. And you ain’t in it.

Too stupid to get vendors to donate meals.

Why didn’t they just ask the “rich”?

Probably because they literally didn’t ask. Plenty of wealthy Socialist / Marxist still in NYC and not going anywhere.

If you don’t feed them they won’t need to poop.

Problem solved.
