East Williamsburg’s Syrian bistro Huda is organizing an election watch party tonight “until Z wins.” Entrance is free; no RSVP required. Fun fact: Zohran Mamdani’s partner, artist Rama Duwaji, has at least one artwork in the restaurant, located near the restrooms. It’s a good one, too.

Actor Lupita Nyong’o posts a warm endorsement of Mamdani, with whom she worked on the set of the 2016 movie Queen of Katwe. “The qualities that made Zohran an exceptional leader in my experience with him on set translate powerfully to the political career he’s established,” she writes on Instagram.
