Would you let this man in for a sleepover?

Anthony Weiner took his silver sleeping bag and a box of cupcakes over to a Lincoln Houses apartment in East Harlem last night — one of five top mayoral candidates participating in an unusual, overnight campaign event to introduce them to project living.

“Here I am — your roommate for the night!” the sexting ex-congressman said as he arrived at the apartment of Diane Beeby.

The other candidates — Christine Quinn, Bill de Blasio, William Thompson and John Liu, also joined the slumber party, reclining on air mattresses and sleeping bags on the floors of their host apartments, some of which were without air conditioning.

The event was organized by the Rev. Al Sharpton, who stayed in one of those un-air conditioned accommodations.

“I have an AC, but it only works sometimes,” Beeby said of her apartment, where Weiner would be camping out in the living room.

“I haven’t had a sleep-over for a while,” said Quinn. “They just moved here in 2004 from Mali, so I’m interested in their story,” she said of her host family. The candidates will hold a news conference this morning to describe their public-housing experience.
