PHOTO OP FOR 2020 GRADS
Friends of Duane Park has added a banner to the park fence for a photo op for local grads who are missing a formal graduation this year. Congrats to them!

FREE BEER!
Torch & Crown, the Soho brewery whose opening was stalled by the coronavirus, is giving out free beer to first responders for the second time this Friday, May 22, from 1 to 7p at the restaurant at 12 Vandam St. Last week they gave away 120 four-packs and still have beers left. Fans and customers have been donating in $5 increments over the past few weeks for this purpose. First responders must arrive with proof of employment AND a valid ID. The beer will be given away until it runs out. More info here.
