PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — Mayor Bill de Blasio's daily walks have taken a grave turn, according to a new report. De Blasio has been spotted taking frequent strolls around Green-Wood Cemetery near his home neighborhood of Park Slope, the New York Post reported. "I think he knows in Green-Wood, nobody is going to yell at him," Rocco Sciangula, a contractor working in the area during one of de Blasio's recent visits, told the Post. "Whereas everywhere else, if people are alive, they're gonna say something." The mayor, who pre-coronavirus pandemic faced criticism for his daily Park Slope YMCA workouts, took to the outdoors when his usual gym closed at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. He was heckled for strolling through Prospect Park in April 2020, and has also been spotted walking at the South Street Seaport in Lower Manhattan, according to another New York Post report. A City Hall spokesperson told the New York Post that de Blasio has "the longest workday possible" and said he makes work calls throughout his walks. "If The Post is offended he walks while taking calls, then I guess that's all you have left to complain about," spokesperson Danielle Filson told the newspaper.
