Andrew Yang was on the attack on the debate stage Wednesday night, but he was forced to retreat the morning after.

Yang showed up to the Park Slope YMCA on Thursday, the day after the second televised mayoral primary debate.

The location is perhaps best known as Mayor Bill de Blasio’s gym of choice, but when Yang showed up he was promptly met by protesters. 

Although de Blasio hasn’t been there in over a year, Yang said the location was intentional, an attempt to swipe at the man he's trying to succeed. 

"It was a reference to the frustration that many people feel with the administration and politics as usual, we need to make a change," Yang said. 

But that is at odds with a moment during Wednesday's debate where Yang said he would welcome de Blasio's support. On the trail this week, Yang has been critical of de Blasio, saying he’s working behind the scenes to help his chief opponent, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams. 

"I'm going to be a mayor who wants to work with everyone and the fact is that Mayor de Blasio is still in a lot of position to do a lot of good," Yang said. 

Adams stayed out of it Thursday, holding a roundtable discussion with ethnic media.

Over on Union Street, former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia ordered her signature bagel and defended her muted debate approach.

"I got to speak directly to the voters, they're really looking for a grownup in the room. They're tired of bickering and fighting, they want solutions and that is what I'm going to deliver," Garcia said. 

City Comptroller Scott Stringer, fighting to stay in the running after sexual harassment accusations rocked his campaign, held a rally alongside "Women for Stringer" supporters.

"I wanted to convey to the people of New York City that I'm ready on day one to be mayor. I think it worked," Stringer said. 

Meanwhile, Maya Wiley who is seeking to coalesce support from the left, spent her morning at the Park Slope food co-op greeting voters.

“Look, we also have a coalition. It's a coalition that is Black, it's Latino it's women of all races and that is a coalition we are going to continue to build," Wiley told NY1. 

Wiley's coalition continues to grow. As of Thursday, she was endorsed by the New York State Nurses Association and a former senior staffer for the Dianne Morales' campaign has now joined the Wiley camp. Wiley said it's a sign the left is coalescing behind her.
