Mayor Bill De Blasio on Tuesday thanked Jerry Seinfeld for penning a passionate op-ed in defense of New York City in a response to, as the comedian put it, a “putz” who claimed the Big Apple was “dead forever.”

“I want to take a moment to thank Jerry because this is what a true New Yorker does — stands and fights and works to make this place better no matter what’s thrown at us,” de Blasio said at his daily press briefing.

Hizzoner directly quoted from Seinfeld’s response to hedge-fund manager James Altucher, who wrote that New York City was damaged beyond repair.

“It will sure as hell be back because of all the real tough New Yorkers, who unlike you, loved it and understood it, stayed and rebuilt it,” Seinfeld wrote.

“That’s the vast majority of all of you out there because that’s what we’ve seen time and time again,” de Blasio said.

He then rattled off various crises the city has faced since the 1960s.

“Then we went through 9/11. People fought back. Hurricane Sandy. People fought back. Great recession. People fought back,” he said. “New Yorkers fight back, that’s what we do.”

“To all the people who really love this place, to all the real New Yorkers of course we’ll come back,” he continued. “So thank you, Jerry, well said brother.”

Altucher on Monday fired back at Seinfeld, saying his op-ed was supported by facts.
