Mr. Mamdani, who turned 34 on Oct. 18, will become the city’s youngest mayor since the 1898 consolidation that added Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island to New York City to create the five boroughs.

“There are some similarities between Mitchel and Mamdani in terms of their age and ambition and desire to shake things up,” said Lilly Tuttle, a curator at the Museum of the City of New York.

There have been 23 mayors in the post-consolidation era, averaging 50.7 years of age at the time of their election, according to the museum.

To find a New York City mayor younger than Mr. Mamdani, you have to go back to the 19th century: Hugh J. Grant was believed to have been 31 when he was inaugurated in 1889.

Rudeness and fear of their own incompetence...
 
Zohran Mamdani’s victory speech in the New York mayoral race was carried live on Israeli television and radio, a sign of the deep concern in the Jewish state about the next leader of the city with the world’s largest population of Jews.

His election triumph prompted an emotional and often overheated debate that skipped past asking whether it would be damaging to American Jews and Israel’s standing in the United States, and moved quickly to questioning how devastating it would be for an ardent critic of Israel to hold the mayoral office in New York.

“ The Big Apple has fallen,” Avigdor Lieberman, the leader of a right wing opposition party and former foreign minister, said through a spokesman. He urged “New York Jews who want to survive” to emigrate “to where they belong — the land of Israel.”
