New York City Mayor Eric Adams took to social media Wednesday to share a unique farewell tribute on his final day in office, reading some of his “go-to quotes” off a coffee mug.

“Mayor Adams’ greatest hits, you know,” he said while waving around an inscribed cup gifted to him by his staff.

He then attempted to read some of the quotes aloud, giggling in between each phrase.

“‘I wake up in the morning sometimes and look at myself and give myself the finger,'” he read. “‘Stay focused, no distractions, and grind.’ … ‘It’s not what’s in the tweet, it’s what’s in the streets.’

“‘There are two types of Americans, those who live in New York and those who wish they could,'” he continued. “‘Arrested, rejected, and now I’m elected.’ ‘I am Gandhi-like.’ ‘I had a shorty that lived out there.’ ‘Every morning I wake up and turn on my GPS, my God positioning satellite.’ … Get your mug, man!”

He thanked his City Hall team for the parting gift in an accompanying X post and noted, “It’s been an honor, New York!”

Adams was sworn in as the 110th Mayor of New York City Jan. 1, 2022, after serving as Brooklyn borough president and a New York state senator.

Back in 2020, the parades were among the first major events to get cancelled in the U.S. in what quickly became a cascade of shutdowns. This year, New York's parade coincides with the city's reopening, with mask and vaccination rules recently lifted.
