Susie, did all of the cooking. In 1996, Broadway was restructured, and the Bensons location was razed and replaced by a more upscale business. Sue and Kent then moved to Manhattan in 2001. Susie was home again. They lived there until 2018, when they moved back to downtown New Haven. Sue will be missed by many.
