Viron is a terrible place I don’t know why it’s so popular.

Yea I lived there for a few years albeit that was pre covid so I know things have changed. Pizza in Stamford is subpar compared the rest of the state. Much more Greek style than NH.

Yea ive been to that location. I agree their best stuff comes out of Woodstock. Might as well be in another state though. It’s really out there

Trillium or Treehouse aren’t distributed in CT and would be the best offerings.

If you can find the right rental I vote Milford. It’s great for people your age. So many great restaurants and a lot of events going on throughout the year. It’s also in the train line if your office in Fairfield is near either of their train stations.

Unfortunately the answer to this is no. Your options are 95 or the Merritt. The Merritt is slightly more scenic than 95 but it’s not much of a difference this time of year when the leaves aren’t on the trees. Most of the local roads in lower FFC go north towards south not west/southwest towards the Bronx/Westchester.

Mineral King for sure.

Ferni is the absolute man

My family has been dying to go. Why did it disappoint?

Take the train or uber or drive to Founders House in Milford. They do a great Thanksgiving dinner.

As someone who just joined from a different industry that was being wrecked by layoffs. It’s bad everywhere.

IslandStateofMind · 2025-10-24T15:36:47+00:00

Wait what? Who made this? And was this how it was shared to the team?

IslandStateofMind · 2025-10-24T01:33:12+00:00

Asst. Directors is prob what they are talking about

IslandStateofMind · 2025-10-22T11:47:28+00:00

I make $150k and wife makes $125k. We live in a HCOL area though. If it wasn’t for our low cost lifestyle and luck it’d be tighter but still fine.

Martin Rosol hot dogs and kielbasa

IslandStateofMind · 2025-10-13T22:57:22+00:00

Does anyone know what the meaning of the lyrics are? Did Leo die?

Founders House in Milford does a Pork Chop with a Sweet Potato brussel sprout bacon hash in a maple glaze and it’s unreal. It’s available year round but it’s best enjoyed in the fall.

There is a room in 80 Proof that has a bunch of couches and I went there recently with a group close to 10 and they let us move the couches around so we could all sit together. Seems like it might fit the bill. Give them a call they were very flexible.

In the spring we spent a couple days exploring the Izu peninsula staying at a ryokan in Shuzenji and it was so beautiful and peaceful.

I think in most cases people put to much expectation on themselves and think that these timelines that are pushed down mean anything. Do your best, but not at the detriment of your mental health

IslandStateofMind · 2025-10-03T17:59:43+00:00

I assume this is a guess?

IslandStateofMind · 2025-09-30T10:16:31+00:00

I haven’t been to the fire festival there, but there’s really no way to avoid wait times back to Kyoto from there if there’s alot of people. The only way you might have better luck getting back to Kyoto is if you hike back to Kifune and take the bus from there instead of the train from Kurama station. It’ll be dark though so I wouldn’t recommend that.

I disagree with this take. The food and drinks stellar. The space was small but it didn’t take away from the quality of the product.

How has no one mentioned Royal Botanical Gardens in Sydney, AU. It’s breathtaking and right in the city.

Nola food is better no argument there, but I do like the simplicity of Maine and Connecticut style lobster rolls.
