New London News has gotten around about the restaurant set to open up this spring on one of the city’s piers.
And now the city is testing the water to find out what other businesses might be interested in livening up the waterfront. The city has issued a request for proposals for a “business venture,” and someone looking to lease a swath of undeveloped land along the waterfront, at 1 Waterfront Park. The site is not far from where City Dock Oyster Bar, formerly known as Whaling City Dock, is expected to open in May.
That restaurant, being constructed off site with four shipping containers by restaurateur Frank Maratta, is expected to be in place by April.
