116 Crown — keeping you warm outside and safe inside – cuisine & cocktails to go and cool outdoor dining!

Continuing to Keep You Healthy, Safe (& Warm)

As we squeeze every drop of Summer Weather from our Garden, we are ready when Fall arrives.

⠀
If outdoor dining feels most comfortable: we have installed a heated tent in our garden for when the temperature drops. Eating outside in sweater weather is one of the nicest parts of living in New England, and our tent allows us to do just that while maximizing airflow and keeping us warm.
⠀
Our precautions have extended indoors as well. Plexiglass barriers between every table and every group help keep us all safe. We can now accommodate more walk-ins and bar seating while maintaining safety protocols.

Additional Hours:
We are now OPEN Wednesday – Saturday.

Please join us soon. Reservations available below.

posted by Robbin

September 22, 2020

drive-through experience

October 22-25

FOUR NIGHTS ONLY!

OCTOBER 22-25

6 – 9 PM

The Milford Arts Council and Pantochino Productions are joining forces to present Happy Haunts Hollow, a brand new drive-through Halloween experience. This exciting and unique family-friendly experience invites participants to drive through Eisenhower Park (780 North Street in Milford CT) to take in a delightful series of happy Halloween scenes that include lights, theatrics, dance, and an original musical score by Pantochino’s Justin Rugg.

Slated for October 22 through 25 6 pm to 9 pm, Happy Haunts Hollow will feature live actors who portray fun, non-threatening characters. Meet a gaggle of friendly witches, dancing scarecrows, a mummy band, and much more. “We’re thrilled to bring this unique and safe family event to life here in Milford. Our ridiculously entertaining brand and favorite company members will all appear in this unique drive-through experience,” states Bert Bernardi, co-Producer of Pantochino.

Happy Haunts Hollow is sponsored by the City of Milford, Milford Prevention Council, and PEZ Candy USA. Julie Nash who is the Director of Economic and Community Development for the City of Milford exclaims, “We are so thrilled that MAC and Pantochino were able to find a way to keep Halloween alive under these circumstances. This is going to be a real treat for kids and adults alike to experience a first-class production.”

This event is just one of many ways that the MAC and Pantochino have turned a challenging situation into a creative opportunity. Paige Miglio, Executive Director of Milford Arts Council, the MAC explains, “What some people view as an unfortunate situation, creatives tend to see as a chance to generate fresh, original, and unique ideas. Being able to bring a little Halloween magic to families, when many are missing out on normal traditions, is so important to both Pantochino and the MAC.”

Tickets are $20 per car and may be purchased at www.pantochino.com

Sponsored by the City of Milford, Milford Prevention Council, and PEZ Candy USA.

Congratulations to our friend, neighbor and restaurant partner on your 45th Anniversary in New Haven!

For the past 45 years, Claire’s Corner Copia has been a staple in downtown New Haven. Claire recently completed a full renovation of her famous eatery and has reopened with top-of-the-line air quality systems and advanced HVAC filters. We are thrilled to welcome Claire and her wonderful team back to the College Street neighborhood and are looking foward to enjoying her delicious cuisine – and of course, a slice (or two) of her famous Lithuanian Coffee Cake.
We are grateful for the continued support Claire has provided
to the Shubert Theatre and the New Haven community –
it would be a “hard knock life” without her!
