The comrade caravan’s coming to New York.

Smitten Zohran Mamdani supporters claim they’re coming to the Big Apple and braving Manhattan during the New Year’s rush to soak in the socialist darling’s inauguration block party.

Mam-iac Alan Faz, 29, told the New York Times he’s making a 1,500-mile trek from Fort Worth, Texas and using up his hotel points just for the chance to see the lefty pol take his oath of office.

“I want to be a part of this shift, I want to be present for this. I think this moment is important enough for me to make that effort,” he told the outlet in a piece on the planned inauguration festivities.

Another out-of-towner — Jersey City resident Michael McGarry — said he’ll be taking the PATH in with his wife to celebrate even though he recently moved out of Harlem.

“I wasn’t able to vote for him, but I was rooting for him the whole time,” McGarry, 32, said. “So in exchange for me voting for him, I’ll show up to do this.”

As many as 50,000 are expected to join Mamdani’s celebration at the Canyon of the Heroes block party bash during the day and some local businesses are looking to attract tourists with unofficial events to make the city’s red dawn.

Bed-Stuy watering hole C’mon Everybody will be hosting a free DJ event, complete with a Zohran look-alike contest where the presumably bearded winner will net $100.

Brooklyn nightclub Paragon is hosting an already sold-out socialist bash where the proceeds from the $20 tickets will go to fundraise for the city branch of the Democratic Socialists of America.

A rep for Mamdani did not respond to a request for comment.
