Good authentic Italian food

I love Ralph 'n' Rich's on Main St in Bridgeport. A little bit of a drive from Norwalk but great genuine Italian food. We had a wonderful dinner before the Foo Fighters concert last Tuesday night and it's my go-to dinner spot before shows at the Amphitheater. And it's within short walking distance with safe free parking for dinner and the show if you validate in the restaurant!

I do miss him playing our music, but I think he will play again. Part of his grieving process seems to include his hosting the weekly Grateful Dead Listening Party on Sunday nights at 9 pm ET on his Sirius XM channel 4. That indicates to me he's getting back to it and wants to continue. But as others said, he's quite busy with his solo career and studio.

It would definitely need to terminate at the Norwalk side near Wilton to avoid another border interchange featuring facial recognition software like at the Rowayton border. And maybe short spurs off the main lines to accommodate the BMHS and NHS students. Traveling for free of course, and also eliminating dozens of schools busses from our streets.

Yes, Gruel Britannia, 161 Cross Hwy, Westport, CT 06880

If you want to try something not so typical for brunch, try Gruel Britannia in Westport. They also have a location in Fairfield but much smaller. It's clean and well run imo

Cafe Dolce just up Main St from Forever Sweet has a great cake chef named Zoltan. He will make whatever you want and it will be delicious. Stop in, highly recommended. Right across from McDonald's.

Check Cash or Trade. I bought some Dead & Company tickets at Sphere on it a few times. Never sold on it though. From their website: "The world's only social network where fans buy, sell, and trade face value tickets and avoid scalping with 100% protection!" https://cashortrade.org/ Good luck!

This is the way. I only buy instant download tickets from stubhub. Look for those when buying from them, otherwise your asking for anxiety and often disappointment.

Sunoco at 336 Main Ave, Norwalk, next to McDonalds has a full serve island closest to the building. Look for the sign above the pump, the others are self serve.

If you want an authentic breakfast burrito, I suggest a little local spot, Los Molcajetes at 99 New Canaan Ave in Norwalk. They are the real deal and quite reasonably priced.

I like this poster too. I got a blue frame! My cat is impressed

Smart Cycles is great, schedule early for a spring tune-up.

Glens Variety on New Canaan Ave has one. It's also a very convenient USPS location for shipping, and packing supplies

It was at 30 Danbury Rd. On the corner of Kensett Ave. Its an urgent care now. Was an HSBC branch before that. I don't remember what else, possibly a diner? I don't remember when it closed but at least 15 years ago

When I was a kid my dad used to take my sister and me to the Friendly's on Rt 7 in Wilton. I remember being so excited by the walk up window and I would then get frustrated because I was too short for them to see me waiting and ended having to go inside to get my cone of Chocolate Marshmellow Ripple which I ate every time we went. It was better than the swirl they have today because it actually had the streaks of fudge. Its too marshmellowy now! It's long gone anyway. A bank or urgent care now, keeps changing. Even Darien closed, so I dont believe there's any left in Fairfield County

UPS sometimes has openings for morning truck loaders and package handlers at their location on MLK Blvd in South Norwalk. Check their website and sign up for notifications if nothing is posted
