‘Pesca’ Peruvian Restaurant on Main Street To Close This Weekend

By Michael Dinan | 23 hours ago

Pesca Peruvian Bistro, a well-liked restaurant that opened on Main Street nearly eight years ago, is closing this week.

Co-owner Wilson Rodriguez said that he is seeking to retire and sees little benefit in remaining open during a general slowdown of the business.

New Canaan Teen Completes Eagle Project at Daycare He Once Attended as a Child

The Summer Internship Program is sponsored by Karp Associates.

William Ntiri had always imagined doing his Eagle Scout project in Ghana, where his family is from, as a way of giving back to the community that shaped who he is. When the logistics made that impossible, he looked closer to home and found the perfect fit: a place he has called home since he was five years old.
