In the shopping center across from twin rinks. Next Vinny’s

lol why did someone downvote you?

I get the frustration but it would be physically impossible for all the work done if schedules were limited to the degree you're talking about.

cost of parts are up. Waits for parts and repairs are also up aka longer rental car reimbursement periods. Oh also more expensive rental cars.

In the summer Scalzi had a pretty decent game

JCC has games and LA fitness

but...America Loves American steakshouse

Depends on where in white plains and the actual time of the commute. I do it daily it’s usually 28 door to door in the morning and 33 at night. For me google shows it as a 26 minute drive with no traffic.

Reminder to everyone that not all of these deals are worth it. You might save a couple bucks if you planned to order an ap, main AND dessert but you only get to pick from a limited menu.

...I don't usually get dessert so these are almost always not worth it.

love this place! For sure would be a unique first date spot as Ethiopian food is best eaten with your hands.

would not recommended Lucky's as a first date spot. It's basically a diner known for burgers with big bright fluorescent lights. It's delicious, but not exactly romantic.

Edit: Got downvoted so here is the link to pictures on google. You decide for yourself if this screams first date. I guess a milkshake outside could work.

Barcelona. You can go just cocktails, just wine, just apps or full meal. Need reservation on Friday/Saturday nights though. You'll see full families there with kids and a busy bar at the same time...it kind of does everything. Also this might sound weird but seeing how a stranger handles ordering shared plates can give you some insight into who they are.

Mecha, Flinders Lane and Kouzina are all solid restaurant choices too. You can go the Wheel for a more expensive option, but its pretty dam good. I'm not a fan of going hudson grill or Towne Parlor or any of those type of spots for a first date...they're basically bars that happen to have 'elevated' pub food.

During the summer Cisco brewing has s little outdoor setup with food trucks n music right on the water.

Lorca is perfect spot for coffee with plenty of lunch spots around if it goes well.

Nature center is great when its warm, its good excuse to 'walk n talk'. The Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk works for this too though it is packed with families on weekends. The Aquarium is also walking distance from the main drag in Norwalk so plenty of food options after.

Plenty of other parks you can go walk at in the area...Mianus in Stamford, Cranberry park in Norwalk Devils den in Weston, Ward in pound ridge.

EDIT; went to The Turning point's new downtown location this weekend. This is perfect space for a first date. Cool vibes. Lots of different types of seating set ups so it can be as casual as as you want it to be. Generally quiet. It has the typical millennial coffee shop Expensive-for-what-+it-is-but-pretty-tasty cafe food items and absolutely the best coffee in Stamford. Downside is you have to park at the mall if your driving and even though the rest of DT is close by, it's not a nice walk.

my favorite carpeted restaurant in Stamford :-D

seconding this. Dudes been in the game too long to care.

I have to ask, what do you do after shows now that the bullshead diner is gone?!

There isn't one all encompassing one.

Curtain call is a solid community theater that can serve this purpose for actors.

There are bunch of boomer bar bands that play regularly around the city and you'll notice all of the same people show up to all of them...that seems like a little community.

IDK if Ratso still has his music studio up and running but that place also seemed like a hub for more serious musicians.

I can't speak to painters.

do not do this. In the middle of the night when there is no construction, it's almost a defensible commute, even with the tolls. But during the day? no fucking way.

Classic old school feel, they will have the sound up and they got great wings.

That might be too big even for them. And in the same plaza as Party city? Though with the old EMS finally under construction they may not have a choice.

H Mart would rule

seconding NOT DR. STEIN. dudes been there forever...we went twice and never again.

The parking lot is on the far side of the station...if coming from downtown it goes 95 -> one entrance to the stations -> station -> other side entrance to the station-> Parking Garage.

Also don' pull into the car rental lot, make sure you're going into the full structure.

EDIT: It's called "Republic park system" on google maps and they have a photo of the entrance.

This is going to sound weird but depending on what you're looking for check out Beta Climbing gym. They have a pretty solid setup for a non regular gym....full racks, benches, bars, and and cardio machines but no weight machines. As everyone is there to climb, it's pretty under used. Google has some photos so you can check it out.

When do you go?
