From legal hot water to NYC’s hotspots.
Big Apple Mayor Eric Adams was back to enjoying the city’s swanky private clubs last weekend after President Trump’s Justice Department moved to drop corruption charges against him.
Hizzoner was spotted last weekend having dinner with philanthropist Alisa Roever, we hear.
Nightlife whiz Richie Akiva and two others were seen stopping by Adams’ table at the ritzy private club Chez Margaux, which has been visited by Taylor Swift and other stars.
Roever, who has a charity with Adams’ brother, Bernard, made headlines when she rode to Donald Trump’s inauguration with Hizzoner’s security detail — in what experts called an example of City Hall’s “ethical sloppiness,” The Post reported.
The mayor is known for regularly frequenting NYC’s top private clubs like Zero Bond and Casa Cipriani.
Chez Margaux, celebrity chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s new supper club, just opened in the Meatpacking District in November and has attracted celebrities like Swift, Gigi Hadid, Bradley Cooper and Kate Hudson.
Other stars seen at the hotspot have included Mary J. Blige, the Olsen twins, Martha Stewart, Zoë Kravitz, Natasha Lyonne, Faith Hill, rocker Este Haim and more.
Adams was also recently spotted by Page Six sources at hip Nolita hotspot the Mulberry.
Earlier this month, the Justice Department moved to scrap the five-count bribery case against Adams, leading to numerous resignations in the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
Last week, a federal judge said he wants to hear from an independent lawyer before deciding whether to toss the charges, reported The Post.
Adams has also agreed to reopen the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office on Rikers Island, which had been shuttered since 2014.
The move has sparked speculation about his relationship with Trump, but Adams this week insisted he will “talk to who I want” as he defended his relationship with Trump and signaled that the Big Apple would work with the White House to enforce its looming illegal migrant online registry.
Adams has filed a lawsuit to claw back $80.5 million of congressionally approved migrant funding that the feds seized from the city.
Gov. Kathy Hochul mulled ousting Adams, but did not move forward, and Hizzoner has said he will run for re-election.
