Occupy Wall Street protestors plan to demonstrate for 24 hours outside Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Upper East Side townhouse, starting this afternoon.

Organizers are bringing musical instruments, food, banners and sleeping bags to the “Occupy Bloomberg’s Mansion Drum Circle Protest And Love-In Art Show” on 79th Street, near the billionaire mayor’s home.

A spokesperson for the mayor says protests outside Bloomberg’s home are nothing new and that anyone can express their views in any area of the city, as long as they do it legally and do not infringe on the rights of others.

Meanwhile, State Senator Eric Adams and civil rights attorney Norman Siegel criticized Tuesday’s cleanup of Zuccotti Park, the former campsite of Occupy Wall Street protesters, by city officials.

They claim the New York City Police Department violated its own policies by not issuing receipts to protestors after their property was taken away.

Adams said he is writing a letter to the mayor and will call for City Council hearings.

Protesters have until Tuesday to pick up their belongings from the Department of Sanitation garage on West 57th Street.

Adams and Siegel also want to know why several members of the media were arrested or otherwise prevented from entering the park.
