Well, here’s some common questions that you should be asking when searching for the right CT homeowners insurance policy.

If our home was totally lost, how much would it cost to completely rebuild it in the same location?

Your policy should cover the building costs of a new home from the ground up. The experts at Paradiso Insurance will calculate this all for you.

How much is personal property worth if a total loss were to occur?

Again, your policy should cover any replacement costs of all personal belongings like clothes, appliances and furniture. Usually insurance companies provide coverage equal to that of 50 to 70 percent of the insurance policy for your entire structure.

Liability? Do I need it and how much?

This is essential in covering costs involved with lawsuits for injury or property damage. This includes the cost of defending you in court, as well as any awards that the court may grant during the suit.

Should I invest in flood or earthquake insurance?

Since these natural occurrences and the damage caused by them are not covered on a standard CT homeowners insurance policy, many people go without this coverage. However with the recent hurricane that came through New England, it would probably be a smart choice to look into a policy.

At most places around here, you should have no issue getting a table, unless you show up last minute on either Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day.  But there’s some restaurants out there that you’ll probably have better luck meeting the President than getting a seat at their kitchen.

Here’s some of the toughest U.S. Restaurants to get a table at, unfortunately though, none are in the Hartford business insurance area:

French Laundry, Napa California: Over 500 people a day beg for a table at wine country’s hottest eatery, where the menu changes every night, and if you think you’re going to get away with a bill under $100 for two people, think again.

Travail Kitchen, Robbinsdale Minnesota: The talk of the town in Minneapolis, it’s been said that some have to wait close to four hours to get a table. And don’t even think about trying to reserve a table… no reservations allowed. So bundle up, and wait outside like the rest of the folk, because in the dead of winter, it gets mighty cold out there.

LudoBites, Los Angeles California: This place is very unique in that it travels. Yes, every six or seven weeks, this hot spot moves to different locations around the city, and it has quite the loyal following. Don’t even bother with attempting to make a reservation… one 6 week location was fully booked in 60 seconds, and on average receives about 10,000 requests per day!

Komi, Washington D.C. – Well they served the President and the First Lady recently, but if you want table and aren’t doing business from the Oval Office, you’ll have to call ahead one month beforehand, and only if you have parties of four or more. With a ten course tasting menu that surpasses $135, bring your high limit credit card for this night out.

So if you’re in any of these areas and want to experience some of the best food around, you’d better call early, show up even earlier, and if all else fails, pray.

Presidents Day is celebrated every third Monday in February to commemorate the birthday of our first President, George Washington. It is a federal holiday across the country, and was first implemented by Congress in 1879 for the government offices in the nation’s capital of Washington D.C.  In 1885, the holiday was extended to all federal offices across the country. In fact, this was the first national holiday implemented to honor an American citizen, and was at first on February 22, the actual day of Washington’s birth, however was moved to the third Monday in February.

The shift from Washington’s Birthday to Presidents Day occurred in 1951 when the purpose of the holiday moved to celebrate all Presidents, and the office of the Presidency.  Schools and federal offices are closed today, but if you’re busy at work, take a moment to reflect and think about the duty of the President. Regardless of his political views or your opinion, the President of the United States is our Commander-in-chief, and we should celebrate the men who have held the office this day.
