SEEN & HEARD
Congrats to the class of 2020: Photo op in Washington Market with more to come in Duane Park; Gotan, Tiny’s and PJ Clarke’s are back open again; Shopboy, the tailor on Walker, is taking appointments.

WASHINGTON MARKET PLAYGROUND IS OPEN
The mayor says playgrounds will officially open on Monday with Phase 2 and with social distancing ambassadors monitoring the play.

IN THE NEWS
Downtown Shake Shack did *not* poison NYPD. Plus the Gotham Gazette hosts a debate for the downtown assembly seat; renderings released for 2 Hudson Square on Canal and Varick.

SEEN & HEARD
