Andrew Giering and Arturo Pineda, two local vaccine trial participants.
Andrew Giering joined because he misses seeing his elderly parents.
Laura Rosado signed up because she found herself back home with time to spare after college classes moved all online.
Arturo Pineda enlisted because they wanted to contribute to ending this pandemic — even as some wary family members prefer homeopathic remedies to vaccines.

Chief Reyes with Assistant Chiefs Jacobson and Dominguez, at a July presser.
City police arrested a 22-year-old man suspected of shooting a 28-year-old local in the head at a Long Wharf gas station three days ago, among nearly half-a-dozen other local crimes recently solved.
That’s happening at a time when the cops are more stretched than ever: 21 officers are currently off duty because of Covid-19, including 11 who have recently tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Hill “Santas” arrive at the Espinos’ house.
Claribel Espino struggled to hold back tears when Christmas came early Sunday to her family’s door on Plymouth Street.
“These gifts are helping out a lot. Times are tough because of the pandemic,” she said. “People aren’t working, the kids are home all of the time, and it’s been stressful.”

Lara.
Aaron Lara added a final touch — a sprinkling of freshly cut scallions — to a Peruvian rice bowl, one of the most popular dishes at Bomb Wings and Rice. With its combination of marinated chicken, aji verde (a flavorful green sauce) and rice and vegetables fried fast in Bomb’s special sauce, the dish balanced tastiness and healthiness, or, as owner Jason Teal put it, “naughty and nice,” a mindset that has guided Bomb since its opening in March 2019 and through the Covid-19 pandemic.

If New Haven proceeds with ordering the Omni Hotel to give laid-off workers first dibs at returning to their jobs, it will be testing a creative new interpretation of state law.

Food giveaway at Barnard last week, one of many in New Haven as hunger grows during the pandemic.
(Opinion) Imagine: You’ve just lost your job due to the pandemic, and now you don’t know how you will afford your next diaper run. Or, you can’t go to work or school, or partake in daily activities, simply because you can’t access the period or incontinence supplies you need.
Nieda Abbas served up a falafel unlike any I’d ever tasted before: one bite electric with acidity and flavor, the next comforting with nutty falafel and warm flatbread.

Fred & Patty Walker, & freshly made sandwich.
Thirty-four years.
That’s how long Fred and Patty Walker have been married. That’s how long they’ve run Chestnut Fine Foods & Confections. And that’s how long they’ve graced New Haven with a creamy, crunchy, not-too-sweet, and all-too-satisfying Brie on baguette sandwich — which packs a particular punch in a pandemic.
Instead of creating PowerPoints in New York about potential corporate mergers, Hacibey Catalbasoglu has spent the pandemic months splitting logs, throwing dough, and memorizing the Napoletana recipe at Brick Oven Pizza on New Haven’s Elm Street.
Store manager Khadem: “We’ve lost almost everything.”
A Subway sandwich shop that has stood at the corner of Chapel and Temple Streets for over two decades appears to have closed for good after allegedly falling over $32,000 behind on rent during the ongoing pandemic.

Asst. Supt. Redd-Hannans: Extended days on horizon.
A longer, in-person school day could help students who have fallen behind during the Covid-19 pandemic, the city’s assistant schools superintendent said. New Haven needs some help from the state this spring to make that catch-up successful.
