50+ Places For Great Holiday Pies in Connecticut (2026 Edition)

There are many wonderful holidays throughout the year, but Thanksgiving, I would argue, might just be the best one of all. Hear me out. After the Thanksgiving Day Parade, you get a full day of football (both pro and college) and whether you’re a big football fan or not, it can be fun to get into the game when you’re with friends and family and everyone is cheering around you. Plus, it gives you an excuse to sit & relax on the couch for hours and just watch TV, especially if that means you get to “rest your eyes” for a bit. Divvy out the cooking and cleaning responsibilities to your kids; surely they are tired of scrolling their phones by now, right? While being around loved ones is nice – including those beloved cats, dogs, fish, pet iguanas, etc. – the best thing of all is really, well, the food. And when I say food, I really mean the desserts. And by desserts, I really mean…PIE. While not all pies are created equal, each pie on this guide will probably be the best pie you’ve ever tasted. No one says you can only order pies from just one of these shops! Try two, or three, or six! Support those local Connecticut businesses! If anyone judges you because you’re on your fifth “small piece” of pie, and there’s whipped cream in your hair or graham cracker crumbs in your beard or you have to unzip your pants juuust a little bit to squeeze in those last few bites (wink wink), well then tell them to mind their own business. Because there is no such thing as too much pie. That is my philosophy in life and on Thanksgiving. Gobble gobble.

Before the Algorithm Decides: Connecticut’s 2027 Rules for Artificial Intelligence in Employment

Beginning in 2027, Connecticut employers using artificial intelligence (AI) in recruiting or workforce management will face new disclosure requirements under Connecticut Public Act 26-15, enacted in 2026 as part of the state’s broader legislation regulating AI. Similar to employers in other states , Connecticut employers should begin evaluating their AI technologies, especially as failure to provide appropriate notice to employees and applicants may result in liability under the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act (CUPTA). What Technology Is Covered? The law regulates “automated employment-related decision technology,” defined generally as technology that processes personal data and generates an output, such as a prediction, recommendation, classification, ranking, or score, that is a “substantial factor” in making or materially influencing an employment-related decision. A substantial factor is one that “meaningfully alters” the outcome of the decision. The definition of an employment-related decision is broad. It includes decisions concerning hiring, promotion, discipline, discharge, renewal of employment, selection for training or apprenticeships, tenure, and other terms, privileges, or conditions of employment. However, the law excludes certain nonmaterial job changes as well as decisions involving workplace health and safety, scheduling and planning, or productivity monitoring. Notice Requirements Beginning October 1, 2027, employers using covered technology must disclose,

First Alert Weather: Bright and mild tomorrow, unsettled to end the week

The breeze lingers as Tuesday turns brighter. Wednesday, Veterans Day, will be mild and bright, perfect for outdoor ceremonies. However, our Next Big Thing is focused on a storm system that arrives late Thursday. Along with it, some much cooler air works into Southern New England. As a result, most of us will see a cold rain into Friday... but we can’t rule out a few wet flakes mixing in through the hills. This will also lead to our chilliest days of the season so far.
