Eric Adams Celebrates with Denise Rich at Exclusive Club Following Mayoral Race Exit

It seems Eric Adamsis winding down his term as mayor of NYC just as he started it — by partying at private members-only clubs.

Adams was spotted at the Twenty Two on Monday night, a day after dropping out of NYC’s mayoral race.

Hizzoner popped into Denise Rich’s Angel Ball launch party at the venue.

“People wanted pictures with him. [Guests] were genuinely happy to see him,” a spy told Page Six.

We hear Adams dined at the club’s restaurant before heading upstairs to hang with Rich and her charitable crew, which included Star Jones, Mona Scott-Young, DJ Timo, Simone Smith and crypto mogul Brock Pierce — who was coincidentally gabbing about the mayoral race before Adams arrived.

Fer da Silva, Ramona Singer and Peter Thomas Roth were also on the scene.

Adams has become somewhat of a regular at Rich’s annual Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for Cancer Research gala.

In 2022, he surprised organizers by staying until the end of the event, dancing to performances by Chaka Khan and Fat Joe, and the attending an afterparty that featured a DJ set by DJ Cassidy.

He had already gained his members-only club reputation by then, with another Angel Ball regular, Nikki Haskell, telling us at the time, “I’ve never met [Adams] and I know all of the mayors! I have seen him at Zero Bond and he knows everyone’s name there!” 

In 2023, he received thunderous applause at the gala during a speech addressing “our beloved Israel,” two weeks after the Oct. 7 attacks.

He skipped 2024’s bash amid an indictment and federal investigation that was dismissed earlier this year.

Rich’s Angel Ball returns to Cipriani Wall St. on Oct. 27.

Gayle King will emcee the event honoring Tina Knowles, Skye and Don Rufus Hankey and the Green Vision Foundation’s founder Amy Green.
