Food and conversation, as Mayor Adams sees it, is the recipe to bipartisanship.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams breaks bread with community members, a tradition he has held since he was borough president. Jim Dolan has the story.The phrase is "breaking bread," but it might be better described as "merging bread," or if you like the alliteration, "baking bread," as it is a metaphor for bringing people together.Thursday, a 'Breaking Bread, Building Bonds' dinner was hosted at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
It is a tradition that Mayor Adams has maintained since he was borough president. One that involves hosting lunches for religious and civic leaders to talk about the common roots of their problems. As mayor, Adams is now formalizing this lunchtime tradition, turning from lunch to dinner, and turning to the community to increase the outreach of the program. Adams aims to train others to bring disparate groups together.
Each of the attendees will host their own, smaller dinner, with approximately 10 guests. The hope is that each of those 10 guests will then host their own dinners, with 10 more people, with each dinner breaking more bread and building more bonds.
