Mayor Eric Adams wants to landmark a pair of Big Apple Christopher Columbus statues — to protect them from mayoral front-runner and Columbus-hater Zohran Mamdani. “The beauty of New York City is that we celebrate and respect all our diverse communities and cultural heritage,” Adams said.
Adams, who will leave office at the end of the year after dropping his re-election bid, said Tuesday he wants to slap historic designation status on the Italian explorer’s monuments at Columbus Circle and Astoria’s Columbus Square — to keep Mamdani from toppling the statues if he takes City Hall.
