It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting Old Town Hall in Greenwich, CT gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Greenwich, CT is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“I want to take a moment to recognize Nadine, the case manager at Always Best Care. From the very beginning, she has shown such kindness, patience, and genuine care. Nadine goes above and beyond to make sure every detail is handled, and she always makes me feel supported and heard. She has a way of bringing comfort in stressful times and truly treats you like family. Her compassion and dedication shine through in everything she does, and I’m so grateful for her. Always Best Care is lucky to have someone as special as Nadine on their team.”
“We were setup with Always Best Care through my work benefit to help with caring for my 85 year old father in the hospital. Alan and Nadine were extremely responsive and flexible in our needs and a fluid situation where we were dependent on hearing updates from doctors from another state. They both checked in on us and ensure my father's needs were met, flexible in changing times and made a stressful process easier for us to manage. I plan on using this agency again when/if we need to.”
“I’ve booked back-up care for my two young children multiple times with ABC, and will continue to reach out to them first any time I have care needs. Not only was my caregiver great, but the service and care I got from Alan was above and beyond. He is so responsive, invested and attentive - feel like I’m working with a friend/family. They really care about their care recipients and make you feel like a VIP. The caregiver we were assigned was not only sweet and warm, but she wouldn’t sit still and made sure she was always doing something helpful. Couldn’t be happier with the company or caregiver, and will work with them anytime the need arises.”

I reached out to Alan the day before my booking and he did a tremendous job at making sure that I had appropriate care for my 5 month old and that I wouldn't have to stress. Our actual caregiver, Chyna was great. She arrived on time, was knowledgable, respectful, and friendly. We had no worries leaving our 5 month old in her care. I'd book with Always Best Care again.”

“In what was a tremendously difficult last few years caring for my mom with dementia, we burned through multiple agencies and aides. Only at the end did we find unmatched compassion and competence with Alan and his team of aides at Always Best Care. A lot of times the whole experience felt overwhelming, disjointed and end of life care system just plain broken. They were the one shining bright spot. Our family would recommend them in the highest order.”
“This is a 5 star company. Their name is perfect. Always Best Care. The care givers for my mom in her final months were gracious, considerate, compassionate and professional. I spoke with Alan many times telling him how thankful i was to have him and the outstanding service his company provided to my mother. My highest recommendation to Alan and his staff at Always Best Care.”
“I highly recommend Always Best Care. We needed someone to help mom get back on her feet again after hip surgery and to be her companion for three weeks during Covid quarantine as she moved from rehab center back to her senior living apartment. All services were provided with the highest level of kindness, compassion and dignity and we are truly grateful for the help.”

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Cos Cob Park in Greenwich, CT with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Polpo Restaurant & Saloon or visit Fourth Ward Historic District, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Greenwich, CT, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Greenwich, CT understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Greenwich, CT 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

Greenwich has increased efforts to provide more affordable housing options to residents in recent years, and the latest project to do so will be Benedict Court.
In downtown Greenwich, on Benedict Place, the apartment complex will be 120 units, 40% of which are reserved for “moderate income” families. The remaining apartments will be market rate.
In Greenwich, “” is an affordability standard set by the town and is based on town employee salaries. Under the standard,monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment is capped at about $2,000 and about $2,500 for two-bedroom units.
The project is designed for Greenwich residents looking to downsize and for those who work in town but don’t live there, according to Phil Wharton, with Nimbus Properties, one of the developers.
“The people that work in this building and in other buildings that are close to the downtown will not only be able to live where they work, they can potentially walk to work,” Wharton said. “People that currently work in Greenwich, but don't live in Greenwich, that's 80% of the Greenwich workforce. It's more than 25,000 people.”
The apartments will feature 10-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. More than half of the units will be two-bedrooms and another 30% will be three-bedrooms.
“We wanted the building to blend into the aesthetics of Greenwich as it is,” Wharton said. “We're going to have some modern features and amenities, of course, but we want to make sure that when it's completed, that it looks like it belongs here.”
The six-story complex will be split into two buildings one block from Greenwich Avenue. Construction should be complete in 2028.
Benedict Court falls under Connecticut’s affordable housing law, which requires municipalities with less than 10% of their housing stock deemed affordable to accept new projects that propose at least 30% affordable units.
Greenwich has about 1,500 units, according to .
“I have lived with this project for 11 years. When it first came in, we weren't real happy with the project,” Greenwich Planning and Zoning Commissioner Dennis Yeskey said. “Our job is to criticize, understand. So all of you that have been insulted by P&Z, I'm sorry, but our job is to criticize.”
The project was also funded with a $100,000 loan from the Greenwich Affordable Housing Trust Fund, according to the Trust’s co-chair Bill Finger.
With an increase in acceptance in affordable housing projects in recent years, the town’s gone from 5.2% to 6% affordable, according to First Selectman Fred Camillo.
However, there’s still tension in Greenwich regarding the state’s push for affordable housing construction.
“In Greenwich, we don't like it, but we are doing it locally. We've been increasing our stock of affordable housing,” Camillo said. “They are units now, but they become homes, and that's the whole thing. We want people to live in places that they love and, certainly downtown, they could walk to everything.”
Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.
That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.
The future of public media is in your hands.
All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.

The town of Greenwich has been given the go-ahead to restart its speed camera program after a revised application submitted to the state gained approval this week.Greenwich, which has a population of just over 62,000 residents, was initially approved for the automatic traffic enforcement safety devices in July 2025 but halted use of its cameras in April 2026 after residents raised concerns.

The town of Greenwich has been given the go-ahead to restart its speed camera program after a revised application submitted to the state gained approval this week.
Greenwich, which has a population of just over 62,000 residents, was initially approved for the automatic traffic enforcement safety devices in July 2025 but halted use of its cameras in April 2026 after residents raised concerns. The town reviewed the concerns and determined that the initial approval process was not completed entirely as required.
Greenwich held a public hearing on the cameras in May and members of Greenwich’s Representative Town Meeting voted in June to reinstate the program. A revised application was submitted to the state Department of Transportation, which was approved Oct. 29.
The revised plan includes the same 10 locations as initially proposed – all in school zones – but the site plants have changed slightly, with time placards and beacons added. The locations will be near Brunswick Lower School on King Street, Eagle Hill School on Glenville Road, Central Middle School on Indian Rock Lane and Orchard Street, Glenville School on Riverside Road, Greenwich Academy on North Maple Avenue, Parkway School on Lower Cross Road, North Street School on North Street and Greenwich High School on Hillside Road and East Putnam Avenue.
The goal with the devices is to curb excessive speeding and keep residents safe, according to the plan.
Speed cameras pick up a vehicle going 10 or more miles over the posted speed limit, take a picture of the offending vehicle’s license plate and then a ticket is mailed out to the registered owner of the vehicle. All images must be reviewed by law enforcement, and usually a month-long warning period is in place when cameras are activated before actual tickets are mailed out.
So far, automated traffic devices have been approved in 19 municipalities. In addition to Greenwich, they have been approved for Beacon Falls, Groton, Hartford, Fairfield, Hamden, Marlborough, Middletown, Milford, New Haven, New Britain, North Haven, Prospect, Stratford, Stamford, Washington, West Hartford, Wethersfield, and Winchester.
West Hartford has submitted a revised application as well, which is under review, according to the DOT.

GREENWICH, CT — Something Natural, the popular sandwich shop that operated at 189 Greenwich Ave. behind Saks Fifth Avenue for over nine years, has closed, and a new tenant is eyeing the prominent space.
New York City-based Magnolia Bakery is seeking to open a new location, according to a signage application reviewed this week by the Greenwich Architectural Review Committee’s sign subcommittee. The application included plans for three signs, including an awning sign.
The website for Magnolia Bakery notes a Greenwich location is opening in fall 2026. The company told Patch via email on Thursday it did not have an exact opening date for its Connecticut locations, which include a storefront in Darien at 1020 Boston Post Road.
Magnolia Bakery opened its first location in 1996 in the West Village of Manhattan on the corner of Bleecker Street and West 11th Street, and its offerings quickly gained popularity among locals and tourists. Magnolia is especially known for its decadent banana pudding, cakes and cupcakes.
The brand appeared on HBO's "Sex and the City" in 2000, and expanded with two more NYC shops and a Hollywood, Calif., location before the first international franchise bakery outpost opened in Dubai in 2010.
Magnolia began franchising locations in the U.S. in 2025 with the first location awarded to Holladay, Utah.
Along with multiple locations in NYC and single shops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Kentucky, and Utah, there are also bakeries in India, Kuwait, the Philippines, Qatar, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates.
Magnolia products and menu items are also available for shipping nationwide.
Something Natural opened in Greenwich in June 2017. The company was originally founded on the island of Nantucket in 1970, and is known for its oversized sandwiches with a variety of ingredient options, and its house-made Portuguese bread.
It was not immediately clear why the Greenwich location closed.
The location's website and phone number are both inoperable. Patch has reached out to the business email for more information.

The Town of Greenwich Department of Public Works will begin the annual Leaf Collection Program on November 9, 2026. Weather permitting, leaves will be collected Monday to Saturday, with two leaf collections per numeric section. The program is expected to finish mid-December.
Residents are asked to pile leaves near the street but off the road and sidewalks, as this can pose as a safety hazard for pedestrians and bicyclists and can negatively impact stormwater drainage. This program is offered to half-acre or less residential properties (building zone R-20) on public roads.
There will be no leaf collection on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2026, and the day after Thanksgiving, November 27, 2026.
Timing and schedule for leaf pickup may be adjusted and subject to change due to unforeseen events, including adverse weather conditions.
Residents can find out when their street is scheduled though the 24-hour leaf collection hotline at 203-618-7698 or by visiting www.greenwichct.gov/257/Leaf-Collection starting on November 3, 2026.
Leaf Collection Guidelines for Residents • Place leaves as close to the edge of the street as possible without placing leaves in the road, sidewalk, catch basins or open channels. • Rake leaves into neat piles or place leaves into biodegradable bags. Leaves in plastic bags will not be collected. • Make sure there are no branches, sticks, or garden refuse in leaf piles or bagged leaves. • Rake early and frequently to be prepared for leaf pickup. • As per the State of Connecticut, General Statutes, Chapter 368m, Sec. 19a-335, Nuisances on Highways, residents must remove all residual leaf piles after the second leaf collection.
Alternative Leaf Options • Drop off leaves at Holly Hill Resource Recovery Facility (permit required). • Mulch leaves and leave them in place. Mulching leaves can improve lawns and reduce the environmental footprint associated with collection, hauling, and composting elsewhere. More information on this approach: http://www.leleny.org/p/homeowners.html.
Tentative 2026 Leaf Collection Program Sequence
First Collection on Monday, November 9, 2026: • Section 3 & 4 Old Greenwich/Riverside • Sections 9 Cos Cob • Section 13 Boro (Central Greenwich) • Section 17 Glenville

GREENWICH, CT — A Greek restaurant with locations in New York and Florida is coming to Greenwich and 8-10 Lewis St. after lengthy Planning & Zoning and legal delays.
Kyma notes on its website that it's "coming soon" to Greenwich in 2027.
"Kyma is a contemporary Greek dining destination that blends authentic flavors, warm hospitality, and memorable experiences. Grounded in the rich traditions of Greek cuisine while embracing a lively, social energy, Kyma delivers refined dining within beautifully crafted spaces," the restaurant's website says.
"As the night progresses, the atmosphere builds, evolving into a vibrant nightlife setting where guests can enjoy music, cocktails, and celebration long after dinner. Whether stopping in for a meal, marking a special occasion, or enjoying a night out, Kyma brings people together through exceptional food, great company, and an unmistakably vibrant ambiance."
The original Kyma location is located on Long Island, N.Y. in Roslyn. There are also locations in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, Hudson Yards, and in West Palm Beach, Fla.
In August 2022, the Greenwich Planning & Zoning Commission approved a final site plan and special permit to convert space formerly occupied by Sofia’s and New York Sports Club at 8-10 Lewis St. into a Kyma restaurant, retail bakery and retail food store.
However, there were separate appeals filed after the approval from CT River LLC, Kyma's operator, and MH Cohen Realty LLC, the property owner, over parking requirements and restaurant seating limits. Another appeal was filed by 55 Lewis Street Associates LLC, a neighboring property owner.
Deputy Director Planning and Zoning/Assistant Town Planner Tracy Kulikowski told Patch a settlement agreement was negotiated by the parties through their attorneys, and later approved by Stamford Superior Court.
The original 2022 approval included seven modifications, or conditions. The settlement later revised two of them: No. 5, the restaurant seating limits, and No. 6, the special-event restrictions.
The original 2022 approval limited Kyma’s restaurant seating to 125 for weekday lunch, 150 for weekend lunch and 200 for dinner daily.
Under the settlement agreement, weekday lunch seating was reduced to 100, while weekend lunch seating remained at 150. Dinner seating remained capped at 200 on Mondays and Tuesdays but increased to 225 Wednesday through Sunday.
Special event seating is limited to 75 attendees and shall not be held before 6 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays during the annual Greenwich Sidewalk Sales days, which are usually held Thursday through Sunday around the second week of July.
There is no outdoor dining being proposed currently.
The Planning and Zoning Department on Sept. 22 signed off on the revised restaurant architectural floor plans to convert the former retail and gym space in the buildings. The project team can now obtain zoning and building permits.
Kulikowski said that at this time, the property owner is only pursuing building permits for renovations for the restaurant space. The Planning and Zoning Department has not issued final approval for the future tenant spaces on the lower level for the grocery store/market, or the bakery, since the property owner has not submitted final floor plans for permits for those spaces yet.
