2009 Norwalk Boat Show; Sept. 24-27, Norwalk Cove Marina

I realize that Norwalk is not in Greenwich, but I know that there are those of you out there who love boating.  As do I.  I grew up boating out of Greenwich (both Byram and Riverside), and I write destination features for Northeast Boating Magazine, which I will shamelessly note here.

The end of September, however, [...]

Just Books, Old Greenwich; Free Author Signings and Book Recommendations

Even before the movie You’ve Got Mail pit behemoth booksellers against the little book shop, I had a very soft spot in my heart for independent bookstores.  Greenwich is fortunate to have Just Books – where local authors (some quite well known) can interact with eager readers in an intimate setting. Tonight at 7pm, [...]

High Five to Vicki Powers at Houston On The Cheap for this one:

Couture On The Cheap?

You know secondhand is going chic when people like Carmen Wong Ulrich, host of CNBC’s “On The Money” writes about it (Sept. 6th, Parade).  ”With Hollywood stars walking the red carpet in vintage gowns, used good are going glam.”  She recommends that shoppers “follow the money,” and so, dear readers, this is where Greenwich, CT [...]

Barcelona Restaurant; On Sundays, Bottles of Wine Half-Price

What makes a hip restaurant hipper?  A deal.  And this is one that’s tough to pass up – especially from an establishment with food so toothsome, it needs no excuse to get people in the door.  But that’s the charm of Barcelona Restaurant; its popular tapas and entrees are surprisingly easy on the wallet, wait-staff [...]

Greenwich Audubon HawkWatch Weekend Festival; Sept. 19&20, 11am-5pm

I spent many weekends during my formative years hiking the 7 miles of nature trails, scooping up pond water for observation, wiggling my toes in pebbly streams, and learning how to call out to birds at the Greenwich Audubon Center. With hundreds of acres, seven locations throughout Greenwich and 2,400 members, Greenwich Audubon is [...]

Got Gold? They’re Buying; Sept. 17th-21st at Greenwich Hyatt

You know that Discovery Channel show called Cash Cab where you get into a cab and it turns into Who Wants To Get Paid for Answering Some Questions During the Ride? Well, this is kind of like that, with no cab. And no questions. But you basically get paid for showing up [...]

Relativity; “Affordable” Richards

Not to get all Einstein on you here, but a certain theory of relativity does apply in Greenwich. What is over-the-top unheard of expensive at say, H&M could be quite the deal at places like the old, now gone Razooks and the current, hip and designer-bent Richards of Greenwich on Greenwich Ave. Last [...]
