Former mayor David Dinkins had some advice Thursday for Mayor de Blasio on his 100th day in office— move into Gracie Mansion already!


Dinkins, the city’s 106th mayor, said he thoroughly enjoyed living in the Upper East Side mansion, and doesn’t understand why de Blasio isn’t jumping at the chance to live in the official mayoral residence.


“He should move in,” Dinkins told the Daily News. “It’s a great place to live. I don’t know what’s taking him so long.”
