Box 63 Opens

Why are you calling the new restaurant "a joint". Would it not be better referred to as a new eating establishment. I have nothing to to with the new establishment but I do find the term "joint" offensive.

"I have nothing to to with the new establishment but I do find the term "joint" offensive." Seriously?

"Joint" is pretty standard slang for "restaurant" or "place," as in, "Do you want to go to that nice Italian joint down the block?" Pretty innocuous.

Wait until King John tax hike comes end.He will be gone with in three years.

Peter you may go to "joints" I go to restaurants.

Just curious about this -- in the earlier story, the "joint" was to be called Box 22. Now, it's Box 63. Why the change? I look forward to sampling the menu. Best of luck to the new owners.

Geez, sort of a pathetic ribbon-cutting. They could at least have strung the ribbon from one fixed point to another so that cutting it actually removed an obstacle to going through the door.

: )

It was always box 63 may have been a typo. Box 63 was the old engine houses number back in the day.
Gretchen the photo does not do justice to the opening. Carl had the old engine brought in on a flat bed... The horse and carriage one! The one that actually was used in this house! It was very cool!

I could be wrong but I belive he is going the blues jazz direction so "joint" may just be the perfect description.

And if the food taste anything like the food at his other restaurants we are in for a treat!

Here is the reference to # 22 from the previous story

Carbone said his new restaurant will be called Box 22 American Diner, after the one remaining fire call box in New Haven, in the basement of City Hall.
