Friday, October 3, 2014. Fairway Firefighter Food Face-off Follow-up! After Belltown Fire Department wowed the judges at the Fairway Firefighter Food Face-off, they chose the Stamford Fire Safety Foundation to be the beneficiaries of a Shopping Night, where 10% of all purchases went directly to the Foundation. Well, Fairway shoppers clearly wanted to help, because the Foundation received a whopping $3,186! Gotta love oversized checks. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Always Home and Uncool.

Streets of Stamford: August 2014

Thursday, August 7, 2014. Baseball in Hartford - a $60 million mistake? I love baseball. I've attended games from Buffalo to Nashville. Heck, I'd love to see a minor-league team here in Stamford. However, there are so many things wrong with the current proposal for a minor-league ballpark in Hartford that I don't know where to begin, but I'll try. If ballparks were money-makers, private businesses like teams or real estate developers would be all over them. I'm guessing that stadiums are, in fact, not.

http://streetsofstamford.blogspot.com/2015/05/get-excited-for-ethopian-food.html
Saturday, May 30, 2015. Get excited for Ethopian food! First we lost Galangal. Followed by Plateau, Chinese Mirch. Rodizio Grill, Saigon Cafe. And the incredible Kit's Thai Kitchen. Restaurants that feature interesting and different food seem to have short lifespans here, but, alas, there's hope! J from CT said. June 5, 2015 at 9:23 AM. My name is Elsa Mekonen and I am the Operations Manager at Teff! There is plenty of street parking up and down West Main Street/Mill River Street adjacent to the playgrou...

Streets of Stamford: Mysterious Manhattan Street
http://streetsofstamford.blogspot.com/2015/05/mysterious-mistreated-manhattan-street.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Just blocks from the gleaming new high-rises at Harbor Point and the hopping bar and restaurant scene of downtown Stamford lies a pocket of utter decay. If you've ever been to the train station, you've probably driven right past Manhattan Street, which is tucked in between Atlantic Street, the Urban Transitway, and the train tracks. Now that the whole street is empty (as part of the train station redevelopment. This is a close-up of the notice taped to the red door above. I don't...

http://streetsofstamford.blogspot.com/2009/10/eats-of-stamford-egane.html
Sunday, October 11, 2009. Eats of Stamford: Egané. Last night, the wife and I ate with friends at Egané on Bedford Street, and I only have one thing to say: WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE EATING THERE? I had the dolsot bibimbop, spicy pork (or beef, chicken, tofu or kimchi) with vegetables and a fried egg over rice in a hot stone bowl. It was just incredible. (If you get this, make sure you mix everything together! I learned that this is how you eat it when I was already halfway done.). Love, love Egane! Its on ...
