Gov. Ned Lamont announced restaurants and bowling alleys may stay open until 11 p.m., effective Tuesday. (Tim Jensen/Patch)
CONNECTICUT Restaurant owners in Hartford and Tolland counties are pleased by Gov. Ned Lamont s decision to extend business hours to 11 p.m. instead of 10 p.m. Our better numbers are allowing us to slightly relax some of the restrictions, Lamont said at a news conference Monday, noting that they tend to skew toward an older demographic that is now getting coronavirus vaccinations.
The restaurant curfew will be pushed back from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. with 50 percent dining capacity. Lamont noted other nearby states have eliminated or pushed their curfews later into the night, but generally Connecticut allows a higher capacity limit.

A beloved restaurant which operated for nearly a quarter century near Bradley International Airport. (Windsor Locks Historical Society)
WINDSOR LOCKS, CT Today s installment of this pictorial history series takes us back into the not-so-distant past, to a popular restaurant which operated for nearly a quarter century near Bradley International Airport, with a name drawn from the traveling experience.
The Passport Restaurant was opened in Oct. 1974 by Frank and Sonia Sutula, owners of Suffield Caterers. Like the catering business, Sonia and the couple s daughters operated the restaurant, as Frank was chief of the Suffield Police Department at the time. Upon his retirement in 1980, he became a permanent fixture at 584 North Street.
