The Grand
Russian Lady and The Tavern & Restaurant.
Hartford is a homecoming for Macarilla's
family. He's a native of upstate Latham, N.Y.,
just outside Albany, but his wife grew up in
West Hartford, where she still has family
there and in Canton.
Once the Macarillas sell their
2,500-square-foot colonial back in Waterbury,
Vt., she will permanently join her husband in
Hartford, he said. The Macarillas have three
grown children, the youngest in college in
North Carolina.
Mrs. Macarilla spent time with her hus-
band in their Hartford apartment over the
holidays. "She's excited to be back,'' he said.
Macarilla says he signed a six-month lease
at The Grand, but hopes to eventually land a
larger, two-bedroom unit. The Grand's apart-
ments are all one bedroom.
Macarilla, who has a preference for craft
beers and specialty bourbons, says he's
gotten to sample the cuisine at neighboring
downtown restaurants.
"I told them where I was living and they
were all excited about it,'' he said. "It's a nice
neighborhood.''
The few times Macarilla has driven his
car has been to a natural-foods store outside
the city. "I lived in Vermont. It was a 15- to
20-minute ride to the grocery store there. It's
not inconveniencing me,'' he said.
A Yankees fan, Macarilla said he relishes
the prospect of walking a few blocks to a
baseball game at the proposed minor-league
ballpark and related development in Hart-
ford's Downtown North quadrant.
Macarilla can point to at least one draw-
back to having a downtown address: "The
one thing I can't do is park my Harley here.
I've got to find a place for it.'' n
The Grand's first tenant, Michael Macarilla.
