When Elena Fusco opened Bin 100 Restaurant, she didn't know much about Milford. But after 15 years at 100 Landsalve Ave., Fusco says it's been great owning a restaurant in the city. "I picked Milford to be a little further away from the restaurants owned by my siblings. One in New Haven and another one is in Hamden," she said. "I'm so glad I chose Milford because it's an awesome community, and I love it here."

December 7 will mark Bin 100's 15th anniversary, she said. Fusco grew up in New Haven on Wooster Street, so the only time she would come to Milford was to shop at the Connecticut Post Mall. "I literally knew nothing about Milford," she said. "I knew the Post mall, and that was it."
