New York City Mayor Eric Adams has a unique skill to say the weirdest thing you’ve ever heard at a very standard public appearance. In addition to comparing himself to Gandhi last week, the mayor said the G in GPS stands for “God,” not “global,” and talked about “eye candy” at outdoor dining sheds. City & State thought there might be an opportunity for the city to turn the mayor’s odd phrases into motivational posters.
