Following the event, Hizzoner took a stroll to the corner of Hegeman and Fountain Avenues, where Prince Mapp, an individual attempting to ignite a social media campaign, challenged Adams to perform pull-ups in the street.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got a challenge that I\u2019m doing in New York City called the Pull-up for Peace Challenge, where I\u2019m challenging people in New York to pull up a peace.

Then Adams took on the dare, climbing the lamppost before grabbing the metal with both hands and dangling.
