Maybe a new shop, restaurant, attraction or something else? What single thing would you bring to Stamford to make it just a tiny bit better?

I’d love an actual high end butcher.
Music venue. How does this not exist? It would be a goldmine. And there’s plenty of places it could work. I feel like that’s a major missing piece of stamford having an actual vibe.
Ah great answer
Curly’s
I’m hoping Whole Foods will scratch some of that itch
Where is Whole Foods going to be?
High Ridge Road in Bull’s Head. It will share the former Lord & Taylor building with Saks Off Fifth.
I thought they were in Norwalk? Or do they have multiple locations.
Is Curt’s an good? I don’t think I’ve known one person to go there.
I’ve never been!
See! I really don’t think anyone actually eats there lol
A grocery store in downtown Stamford.
There are two locations in Stamford, on Hope St. and Main St.
Actual ice cream place. Chuck a mid Italian restaurant and put one in!
Just checked, there’s one on Connecticut ave.
A pot store. Heh
Turning Point Provisions has some good stuff, not really a full butcher but very interesting meats!
Yes lol it slaps
There is actually one opening on high ridge road lol
Cat café
On a purely personal level? A good retro game store. There’s a pretty good one in Norwalk but that’s enough a drive that I can’t really justify going there unless I’m going to purchase one. If there was one in town I could window shop to my heart’s content.
A higher end cocktail bar for late 20's to mid 30's crowd. Towne Parlor and Hudson Social just don't cut it.
Edit: cutting it in terms of night life I mean
Also Taj on summer street. It says they close at 10pm, that's a lie I've been there at 1am. It's super good
Stop and shop Ridgeway is pretty close
An arcade bar like Barcade. Combination of UConn Stamford students, and 30 somethings to keep it afloat. Challenge is square footage, maybe somewhere in the harbor point warehouses would work.
Better restaurants. Specifically by Columbus Park.
Stop and Shop or ShopRite aren’t too far
Conn Ave.
No it doesn’t stop lying. It’s what the police give to the prisoners waiting to see a judge Monday in the overnight cells on the weekends. Or at least used to be back in the old police station.
Nuts, ya got me excited until I looked up where… 1008 High Ridge Rd. is pretty far from downtown Stamford… I never realized how big Stamford really is…
Something for teenagers to do. Bring back something like the old Varsity Club. Somewhere for them to hang out. It’s all about the new restaurants and more apartments. What about the kids/teens?
It’s a Stamford staple that Stamford natives don’t go to

I mean like walking distance.
Yeah you’ve got to go to Old Greenwich or Westport for that right now
A NHL team.
@jackryantunes! I play live around Stamford all of the time, especially in Stamford. Third Place, Towne Parlor, Brick House, Beer Garden, etc.
Omg yes.
Good Asian cuisine. More pet stores. Music venue for concerts. An art district. Nordstrom Rack.

Good Vietnamese! Not just pho and bubble tea, but other traditional Vietnamese dishes. I have to go to Fairfield, Stratford or Bridgeport now.
A quick service salad shop downtown.
A Pilates studio
Stamford Redhawks
DiBella’s
A roller blading rink!
[deleted]
There is RPM?
Top Golf or something similar
A lounge. Stamford is so fast paced and overworked. Just a place with drinks, games, comfy seats, and a relaxing atmosphere to hang out and decompress.
Zero waste bulk goods supplier for everything I would buy in a plastic bottle.
Absolutely agree
Yes please!
Stamford downtown was a lounge scene in the early ‘00’s and all the bars slowly changed to what they are now. Rightfully so as they have to keep up with the times and demographic.
I believe research park has a cigar lounge?
A beer and cheese shop.
What’s the one in Norwalk that you go to?
Retro Games Plus, I highly recommend it!
A gay bar!
Check out Eco Evolution in South Norwalk!
Try underground. Not quite a powerlifting gym but checks the boxes u wrote about.
On a side note the old keoughs building would have made an awesome powerlifting gym
Omg this! So tired of commuting to New Haven or Manhattan to see the bands I love.
GOOD sushi. Stamford appears to have 'ok' sushi, but I've seen little here that compares with a number of kind of local (and not terribly expensive) places in Manhattan. Most of the sushi in Stamford feels like it's for people who don't know what great sushi is.
Outdoor batting cages, late night deli and a mobile dog groomer that you do not have to book two months in advance.
I agree on there being no good sushi places in Stamford, but fwiw Sushi Soba in Greenwich is pretty good and they deliver to downtown Stamford.
I miss Cask.
Publix. Ya'all don't know about them chicken tenders.
THIS. I can get by on the western-oriented Thai places but there’s no authentic viet food. Ive gone to hart & Scarsdale for good viet.
And Mecha does not count that’s just to scratch a desperate pho itch but there’s tons more good Vietnamese food besides pho.
Truth. The best quality sushi I’ve found is from Kiku.
