We recently published The Eric Adams Table of Success, The Last Supper, the final installment of our award-winning investigation into all the players in the mayor's orbit. Here are some leftovers—odds and ends you may have missed. Some of them are pretty tasty, straight out of the fridge. Enjoy!
Way back in the spring of 2022, when Mayor Eric Adams was still calling himself the "Biden of Brooklyn," his longtime partner Tracey Collins attended the Met Gala in an Oscar de la Renta caftan.
To get the borrowed garment, "Vogue's Anna Wintour helped broker an introduction for Collins in the fashion world," according to a New York Post story touting the "secrets" behind Collins's appearance.
But there was someone else in the mayor's orbit who also helped make Collins's Met Gala dreams come true: Zero Bond owner Scott Sartiano, who texted with the mayor and his staff to ensure that Collins was connected to Wintour and her people at Condé Nast.
How do we know this? Because the Adams administration had to cough up the text messages between Sartiano, the mayor, and his staff, after Hell Gate sued to get them in late 2023.
