"It would be remiss if I didn't also add to that, that the best kiss of the night came after that from Diana, just so that I could get through tonight," Bloomberg said.
"Diana" is the mayor's girlfriend, Diana Taylor.
Bloomberg added that Gaga "couldn't have been nicer" and posed for pictures with him, his youngest daughter and Taylor.
Gaga helped usher in the New Year at the Crossroads of the World by performing hits off her album "Born This Way" before the big countdown.
Other performers included Pitbull, Justin Bieber, and Carlos Santana.
