When the dad jeans are out, it's time to party.
Bill de Blasio headed out for an eight day vacation on Tuesday night, when he was spotted at the Jet Blue terminal waiting for his delayed flight to Albuquerque.

Once de Blasio's flight arrived, Rabbi Berel Levertov spotted him at the baggage claim at the Albuquerque airport, where de Blasio, as Levertov tells it, asked to take a selfie with the rabbi.
Let Chabad of Santa Fe be the first to welcome Mayor Bill de Blasio to New Mexico! Enjoy your stay!… https://t.co/gtIa0ZrJqO

He asked me if he can take a selfie and I said "sure! This is New Mexico!" ;) pic.twitter.com/JFkgzLh9WB

Hours later, Katie Dunn reported seeing the mayor eating breakfast with Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry at Flying Star (which gets decent reviews on Yelp).
Only in New Mexico would Bill DeBlasio be in a coffee shop and no one recognize/care. Except me of course- selfie or no selfie?

Dunn commented that de Blasio was in full vacation garb:
I am happy to report that Bill DeBlasio was wearing dad jeans, old tennis shoes, and a button-down short sleeve circa early 90s.

@nahmias Honestly I didn't bother the guy. He was at Flying Star, grabbing breakfast w Mayor Berry. Incredibly, incredibly low-key.

Chirlane, Chiara and Dante de Blasio have thus far stealthy avoided the notice of the Twitterverse while on vacation.
