The longtime home of Cary St. Cafe at 2631 W. Cary St. in the Fan has been sold to restaurateurs familiar with the area.
The property, which the cafe known for its vegetarian dishes, Grateful Dead decor and consistent live music had occupied for 34 years, sold last week for $650,000.
Public records show the buyer was an entity tied to Jin Gao and Xian Wang, who also own Carytown dining staple The Eatery at 3000 W. Cary St.
The seller was Robyn Chandler, who had owned Cary St. Cafe since 1995 and bought its building in 2016 for $425,000.
Yale New Haven Children’s Hospital announced on Dec. 21 that it had performed the first successful pediatric heart transplant in the state in October 2020. But that claim is inaccurate. Pediatric heart transplants have been performed in Connecticut since the 1980s. The first at Yale was in 1989. The first in Hartford may have been performed as far back as 1986.
