Smiling because this was me and my fiancé a year ago! We “escaped” to Stamford for a weekend from NYC. We now live in harbor point.

Agree with comments here that there’s really not many “things to do”. We came up Saturday, checked into our hotel, then went to Third Place. Would recommend! Great atmosphere, good beer and there’s usually a food truck or two. We walked down to the water (which is chilly this time of year), and grabbed another drink at a bar down by harbor point so we could take a look at some of the buildings.

For dinner, if you want to do something nicer, cafe silvium is great, but you’ll need to wait a while for a table. We “settled” for capital grille when they offered to make a table for us and had an excellent meal. Otherwise, you could just hit Bedford street and walk around exploring bars/food to see what you like! We usually do this when we have friends/family in town.

I will say, when it’s warmer, there’s much more to do. There’s activities downtown, and some restaurants will open outdoor areas to hang out at. The beer garden at shippan, for example, or The Wheel. Both on the water and a great place to day drink, eat and bring pets.

After living here about a year, I will say I recommend it! Many of the buildings are nice and nothing is ever too far away. Easy access to the city is a plus too via metro north.
