The city that never sleeps has met its match in Eric Adams.

The Big Apple’s next mayor ran off to party with bold-faced names — including business titans and other VIPs — at an exclusive after-party in Manhattan late Tuesday night after he declared victory in Brooklyn.

“A who’s who of NYC is expected to attend and celebrate the pro-business, pro-safety mayor,” according to a copy of the invite obtained exclusively by The Post.

Among the famous supporters flooding into the members-only club Zero Bond in SoHo for the invite-only shindig are celeb restaurateurs Daniel Boloud and Danny Meyer, comedian Chris Rock, rapper Ja Rule, actor-director Forest Whitaker, Knicks-Rangers and Madison Square Garden owner James Dolan and hotelier Ian Schrager.

Also in attendance: Frank Carone, a longtime lawyer for the Brooklyn Democratic Party; Egyptian billionaire businessman Naguib Sawiris; former Google CEO Eric Schmidt; SoftBank Group International CEO Marcelo Claure: Haute Living CEO Kamal Hotchandani; real-estate executive Gene Schneur; Rob Weisenthal, head of aviation start-up Blade and former SONY CFO; William Wesley, aka World Wide Wes, a top advisor for the Knicks as well as Knicks president Leon Rose; and Wes Edens, co-owner of the Milwaukee Bucks.

PR executive Ronn Torossian, an Adams confidante, organized the event.

Unlike Mayor Bill de Blasio, a homebody who still didn’t make it to work until around 11 a.m. in the years before the pandemic, Adams is expected to soak up the city’s vibrant nightlife as mayor.

The retired NYPD captain club-hopped around Manhattan one weekend in September, joining prominent names like Nets star James Harden, La La Anthony and Paris Hilton at Zero Bond.

Although he stayed out until 1:30 a.m. that weekend — he’s promised to be at his desk at City Hall bright and early come January.

“By 6 a.m. every day, I’ve worked out, meditated and had my smoothie. Then I go right to work,” the diabetic-turned-vegan told The Post in May.
