Dang was going to say I went to this legendary breakfast buffet in Greenwich at the Hyatt but it appears it is permanently closed

Hub and Spoke touch outside 20 min

Not sure exactly what you’re looking for, but Terra Gaucha is all you can eat plus the extensive salad bar — basically a buffet, and it’s good!

Interested!

Protected bike lanes. Stamford painted some streets and called it a day. Ridiculous

Join our group chat - we’ve had a few meets ups so far and they’ve been really fun and the people are great. I’m a 40 / f and would love to connect and meet new people in the area! I’ll try to figure out how to add you haha

This^^^*** - to correct my original reply, yes there are some, but honestly nothing too impressive and/or inexpensive. Winfield's cold brew is Rise, Honey Joe's is La Colombe, and in general they just seem very pricey is all.

I’d like more side walks, bigger side walks.

I’d like more stuff to do as an adult that didn’t center around drinking.

Making it more walkable. There are so many intersections with crosswalks and no crosswalk lights. Also there are a lot of sidewalks that are either really narrow or uneven which isn't safe. We have so many pedestrian accidents it's sad and preventable.

I believe there is a recently created women's only Reddit chat that may have some female-specific advice for you. Maybe one of them will jump in.

I think my advice these days is to seek out groups/organizations rather than places of business. For example, a group that goes to trivia night at XXX every Tuesday is more reliable than going to Happy Hour every Tuesday. Especially for your purposes of dating with intent, you want someone that others can endorse either explicitly or implicitly through being associated in an organization of some kind.

Hope that helps.

Interesting that you mentioned Deloitte. With the WFH culture, the happy hour scenery has almost died

You could ask them what language they speak and use Google Translate

I dont live in Harbor Point but it amazes me that all those residential buildings were put up with limited commercial spaces on the ground floors. I know the rents would be outrageous but wish there were more small business down there. Its a great place to walk around but theres a deli, 4 chain restaurants, and they lost their grocery store.

Somehow, someway, making the trip from the South End to Downtown more palatable for pedestrians/cyclists. The I-95 corridor acts as a major unsavory/unsafe barrier between the two neighborhoods. No solution comes to mind, but Atlantic-Bedford could be 2-3 miles from city core to shore.

Also, no way of how to accomplish it, but connecting the shorelines. Getting from Southfield Ave to Cove is difficult outside of a car and downright unsafe via bicyle.

There are a great deal if unused baseball fields from the Little League glory days; converting one into an amphitheater and get some quality shows.

Car free summer evenings on Bedford.

Affordable shuttle to JFK/ Laguardia.

Feel like it's good to mention that the problem isn't the cats, we love them. Most of them are friendly or don't even want to look at me, and I think all of them are TNR. The biggest problem is the food, I have a dog, most people in the neighborhood walk their dogs past my house, dogs + cat food = doggy stomach problems. ☹️

im dead 😂

Call a cat rescue like pitter patter.

If someone feeds a cat, its their responsibility to get them fixed, and the rescue can help. Feeding stray cats is cool, but you want to make sure they are fixed or you get a cat colony.

If I were a town planner (I'm not) I would bollard off lower Bedford St and send the Northbound traffic up Greyrock Pl, left onto Forest St and then right up Bedford from there. I'd also make the section of Bedford between Spring St and Forest St two-way so people could access Spring St from Forest St.

I would then turn the parking area outside Lucky's into a Lyft/Uber pick up point and get some CCTV cameras going to enforce strict no parking there.

Maybe they've changed or have a revolving door of baristas so there was a string that was very acidic. I just remember summer 2019 getting an iced coffee there and it tasted so sour and an hour later I felt like I was having a heart attack. Kinda turned me off.

Lorca on weekdays only. On weekends the quality is way lower.

Interesting to read your perspective on Turning Point, I love their beans and buy them regularly and haven't had this issue.

Lorca is locally owned. She used to have a Cos Cob location but it closed during the pandemic.

Turning Point is locally owned.

Honey Joe's on Broad Street is locally owned.

Winfield is locally owned.

Humbled and BonJo are too but they're not downtown.

Unfortunately there's enough competition more coffee doesn't make sense but I am personally dissatisfied with almost all of them. I find Honey Joe's to be the most acceptable because they offer La Colombe. Lorca is inconsistent. Turning Point is very acidic. Winfield is absolute trash.

More sidewalks would be great. And where there are sidewalks, alot of them just abruptly end, especially in the Springdale area. I would love to see a rezoning of industrial areas to commercial or residential. For example on Hope St, they are putting up another huge self-storage facility which is a lost opportunity...could have been residential apartments with nice storefronts, but no it'll make Hope uglier than it already is.
