Featured Business Of The Week

“It’s a great location. We love downtown, being at the heart of it,” Ruickoldt said. “This has always been an active street and we’re hoping to bring it back to life.”

Chef Jeff Lamberti said the menu is “upscale raw” with a focus on fresh seafood delivered daily, mostly from local distributors. At the raw bar, patrons can enjoy oysters, clams and shrimp. Lamberti drew attention from around the region as the owner of West End Bistro, where he innovated the pizza doughnut. The Moby Dick’s concept, he said, is one of “small plates to stimulate a cocktail environment.”

Student → Manufacturer Connection Fair

Connecting the next generation of innovators with

Connecticut manufacturers

Wednesday, May 10th

9 am – 3 pm

1st Floor of the Capitol

300 Capitol Ave, Hartford

Representative Liz Linehan and Representative Kara Rochelle are bringing back the Student → Manufacturer Connection Fair in 2023! 

Students from Connecticut’s middle schools, high schools, and technical high schools are invited to connect with local manufacturers who will have booths and hands-on exhibits set up throughout the first floor of the State Capitol. 

They'll experience fun, hands-on activities like a virtual welding simulator, robotics, and more designed to introduce kids to the high-tech world of manufacturing and engineering. These are companies with jobs and careers available, many of which can start at $65,000 a year with no college debt!  

The event is free for both students and manufacturers. The fair has been incredibly successful prior to Covid, with over 500 students and 30 vendors each year, and this year promises to be the best yet! Plus, students will have an opportunity to visit the State Capitol during session.

We are inviting you because you have joined us in the past and we would love to have you join us for this year’s fair! You have brought amazing exhibits and learning opportunities to students from all over CT and we can’t wait to see what you will bring this year! 

Interested Companies Should Please Respond Immediately if your company or organization is interested in learning more or to reserve a spot.
