Former Mayor Bill de Blasio was spotted dining with police Commissioner Jessica Tisch Saturday at Flora restaurant in Park Slope.
But both participants are staying mum on what they discussed.

A source familiar with the chat said de Blasio requested the casual meeting with Tisch, who he knows well from his time in office.
De Blasio appointed Tisch as his commissioner of the New York City Department of Information Technology and Telecommunication in 2019, where she led the IT response during the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic.
She previously served the de Blasio administration as then-police Commissioner William Bratton’s deputy for information technology.
Tisch, who served as sanitation commissioner and then police commissioner under current Mayor Eric Adams, has agreed to stay as the NYPD boss under Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — whom de Blasio supported during this year’s election campaign.

Several others from the de Blasio administration are set to return to City Hall or have landed big roles on Mamdani’s transition team.
Dean Fuleihan, who served as de Blasio’s first deputy mayor, will hold the same powerful post under Mamdani.
