Seen & Heard: Two New Shops Are Open on Duane

••• Consort’s new shop on Duane is open; full report to come.

••• And the Williamson marketing company, which took over the former Jonathan Burden space at 180 Duane, has turned the top floor into a shop, as promised, with apparel, Apotheke candles, and offerings from Green Fingers Market, which has taken over the area by the window. Full report to come on that, too.

••• Added to the agenda for Community Board 1’s Quality of Life Committee meeting on Dec. 15: “Street Vending Modernization Act – Discussion with Vincent Fang, Director of Legislation and Budget, Office of City Council Member Margaret Chin and representative of the Street Vendors Project and possible resolution.”
