Senator Sanders will take the oath of office in front of the city hall.
Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani's press office said that since Zohran's election slogan was 'New Era', the swearing-in ceremony was called 'Ohadhamantdhrahrah ravh ghabi utdh' - meaning the inauguration of a new era. The event will not only take place in the large open space in front of City Hall, but across Broadway Street so that thousands of New Yorkers can join the block party.
