Restaurant That Renovated With Connecticut State Money Quickly Closes

After more than two years of running Reuben`s Deli in the West Hartford Center, the owner received $47,500 in state aidto revamp when he wanted to turn his restaurant into one that was open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night drink. After reopening as Thirty-Five Bar And Grill, the spot closed after being open for only six months, and West Hartford leaders and local business owners are not pleased.
