Modern Apizza takes ‘Connecticut Pizza Trail' crown
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — More than 13,000 votes were cast and the results are in: Modern Apizza in New Haven is the winner of the 'Connecticut Pizza Trail' survey conducted by the Connecticut's tourism office.
The survey was launched in order to pick pizza shops that will be included on the 'pizza trail.' Pepe's and Sally's came in right behind Modern in the survey. The first twenty pizzerias were announced on News 8's Good Morning Connecticut, with towns across the state notching entries.
Winner of Connecticut's Pizza Capital Trail revealed
'I think it sends a message loud and clear that there is great pie in every corner of the state from New Haven to New London to New Hartford,' Anthony Anthony, the state official in charge of marketing tourism efforts, said. 'You have apizza, Greek style pie and everything in between.'
Anthony said the pizza trail is part of the state's broader efforts to put its culinary scene front and center as a tourist attraction.
While the Elm City had by far the strongest showing on the pizza trail poll, other towns held their own, too. Middletown notched two entries, including Mondo on Main Street.
'Any attention given to the pizza business is great for all of us,' Mondo owner Keith Vibert said. 'It's one of those rising tides lift all boats type of things.'

Review: Go Greek Yogurt is a twist on classic froyo treat
Sommer here! My friend Sofia and I recently tried Go Greek Yogurt, the new yogurt bar in the Miami Worldcenter. It's the first location to open outside of California. State of swirl: Like a classic froyo spot, Go Greek centers around its self-serve Greek frozen yogurt machines, complete with six individual rotating flavors and the combo swirl option in the middle, next to the toppings bar. The intrigue: What separates it from the others is the fresh Greek yogurt station, featuring six huge tubs of classic Greek yogurt imported from Greece. This area also has a toppings bar. We were skeptical. Who would get a bowl of regular yogurt when there's a frozen option? But our curiosity got the best of us and we sampled the sour cherry (perfectly tart) and chocolate (more like a mousse?) and we were sold. Both flavors were thick and creamy. What I ordered: Frozen yogurt still won. I tried the peanut butter and mango frozen yogurt (individual flavors, not a swirl), and topped it with fresh blueberries, strawberries, chocolate chips and honey (also from Greece!), and it was delightful. It's a bit pricey for a sweet treat — $15.31 after tax and tip, and I didn't even fill it that much — but what isn't these days?

HGTV, TruTV twins pledge Omaha return to spark more affordable housing
A "fireside chat" at the Reignite2Unite development symposium in Omaha featured Anthony and Anton Downing, twin brothers known for their show "Double Down" on HGTV and currently featured on "Backyard Bar Wars" on truTV. Moderating is Cristina Castro-Matukewicz, Wells Fargo vice president of community relations. (Cindy Gonzalez/Nebraska Examiner) OMAHA — The 'Downing Brothers' — Chicago firefighter twins known for their HGTV show on real estate investment — were in Omaha for a brief appearance and committed to an encore visit they hope will electrify local efforts aimed at boosting affordable housing. In town to speak Thursday at a conference, Anthony and Anton Downing toured a few housing sites and visited with nonprofit leaders working in the industry. During the event luncheon, they also clicked with Omaha's Mayor-elect John Ewing Jr., a fellow first responder and affordable housing advocate who helped persuade them to return. Beckoned to the stage by Ewing, the twins in a sort of spontaneous moment agreed to come back and work with the Omaha Municipal Land Bank on a still-to-be-determined project. 'It's important to shine a big light on government and nonprofit organizations whose work is in affordable housing,' Anthony said later, in explaining the decision. 'We're connectors,' said Anton, who hopes the future project can arouse funding and other opportunities, including perhaps an Omaha role in one of their shows. Omaha's alliance with the Downing Brothers represented the kind of networking and relationship-building that conference organizers hoped for during the two-day Reignite2Unite development symposium, which aimed to provide emerging developers and others with tools and resources to turn vacant properties into community assets. Hosting the event that drew more than 250 people to the Marriott at the Capitol District was Omaha Municipal Land Bank, Spark CDI and Front Porch Investments. Workshops featured other national and local experts who shared tips on such topics as access to capital, innovative policies and construction that promote integrated and affordable housing, land banks and community land trusts. Joe Mitchell, newly appointed administrator for the Great Plains four-state region of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which includes Nebraska, also spoke and assured the group that the Omaha HUD office was not slated for closure. He said he'd like to see developers have more access to funding and capital. Big demand for affordable housing calls for big approach in suburban Nebraska During the luncheon, Ewing — who moves into the mayor's office Monday, after defeating three-term Mayor Jean Stothert in May — told the crowd he is a longtime supporter of affordable housing efforts, having served on boards such as Habitat for Humanity Omaha. The former Douglas County treasurer said homeownership is a priority issue he often talked about on the campaign trail and wants to promote as mayor. Ewing recalled the pride he, his siblings and parents felt when he was 15 years old and the family bought their first home. The initials carved into the cement by the Ewing kids remain nearly 50 years later at the house where his parents still live. 'That was one of the most motivating, inspiring things that happened in my life,' said Ewing, adding that homeownership offers hope. The new mayor said he wants Omahans to have the opportunity to own homes. 'Not only does it inspire our young people, it allows families to build generational wealth,' he said. He referred to something former Omaha City Councilwoman Brenda Council, who was in the audience, once told him: 'To a young person without hope, consequences mean absolutely nothing.' The Downings said they are unsure of the project they'll help tackle in Omaha but said they are committed to a return. 'This is not a one and done situation,' Anthony said. The twin brothers, age 43, star on 'Backyard Bar Wars,' on truTV. Raised on the south side of Chicago by a Bahamian mother and an African-American father, they headed to the Bahamas after their Omaha stay, where they are working on a housing project. The brothers said they still fight fires in Chicago, and began real estate ventures after witnessing the need for community development while on that job. Through their 'Homecoming with the Downing Brothers' podcast, TV and a comic-style super heroes book about real estate, they said they stir conversations about real estate investment that didn't previously exist in many Black households. During their talk at the conference, the Downings recommended that communities launch programs early, teaching young teens about investing and financial literacy. Leslie Smith, executive director of the Omaha Municipal Land Bank, said organizers chose the duo as keynote speakers because of their motivation and advice. 'They speak of a call for action — to galvanize resources available to us — and they do it from a practical lens,' Smith said. Several developers were recognized Thursday with awards: Outstanding Emerging Developer: Ernesto and Penny Marquez of the Marquez Co., for their Pinkney Street Duplex rental project financed with a Spark Capital rehab loan. Community Impact Award: Omaha Economic Development Corp., for The Larimore at 3483 Larimore Ave. The 45-unit repurposed commercial building, aided by sources including public tax-increment financing and low-income housing tax credits, is for seniors that make 30% to 60% of the area's median income. Public-Private Partnership Award: Canopy South, Omaha Housing Authority and City of Omaha, for the first phase (92 units, mixed-income residential) of the Southside Terrace-Indian Hill Choice Neighborhoods Transformation Plan. Community Advocate Award: Jeff Spiehs, an urban planner and real estate developer focused on community engagement. His involvement includes being a faculty member of Spark's Developer Academy and ChangeMaker programs. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

Popular New Jersey Greek Restaurant Closing Down After 9 Years
One of the most popular Greek restaurants in a major New Jersey city is set to close after serving customers for nearly a decade. GreekTown in Hoboken, New Jersey announced that it would be closing on Wednesday. "Thank you Hoboken for the last nine years!!!! It's a good bye for now, keep an eye out for another opening in the future," the restaurant said in a social media post. "All good things must come to an end and the ends is now for Greektown." Visitors flocked to the Garden Street location for a variety of dishes like hummus, tzatziki dip, and Greek soup. Spanakopita was a fan favorite, with visitors enjoying the flaky crust and cream filling of the spinach pie. "Got a Greek salad here almost every day…going to miss this place," one fan said on Reddit. "I ate here about once a week. Really sad to see them go," another fan said, offering the suggestion of a brunch menu when the space eventually reopens elsewhere in the city. Some fans cited another Greek restaurant - Tros Greek Street Food - located close by that seemed to have better options. Tros currently has a 4.5-star rating from customers on Yelp and is located just three minutes away from GreekTown. Rising costs and other factors have hit the restaurant industry hard over the last few months, as establishments have closed all over the country. Large cities, college towns and even small towns have been affected as the hospitality and food industries recover from pandemic-related losses. Many restaurants were able to pivot to services like DoorDash and Uber Eats in 2020, but some owners have argued that the cut the apps take from each delivery isn't enough to justify working with them. Ingredients also cost more than they did several years ago, putting restaurants that were able to break even or turn a small profit into a deficit. Owning a small business in any industry can be difficult, and the variables introduced into an industry like the restaurant business can be catastrophic. We'll see if GreekTown can re-evaluate its business strategy and determine a new path forward ahead of reopening in the future.
