I understand last night was opening night. I bet their Facebook page has more info.

HA HA HA! What kinda Italian are you? Burnt grain. I sorta think you know how to say "ass" in our native tongue. Though, I confess, i had to look it up (not ass, but arso). The grano part was intuitive--arso, not so much.

But(t?!) by any name, this place is fantastic and I'm thrilled they're here.

I’ve wanted to get to Deke’s for about a month now. Those bagels look fab!!!

kattyeyes commented 4 years ago

HA! No, so many of my favorite places have disappeared (the Mexi place in the food court, Bubba's). Do you have some favorites there? I really liked the Mexican place, SolToro Tequila Grill, but haven't been in YEARS.

HOLY SMOKES--that's gotta be a new record for opening and closing--how many months were they even open? They could be tied for Disco Chix, or whatever it was in M'town. What a shame. But yeah, I hadn't heard fantastic things, either. Honestly, we were just talking to one of our friends in Westbrook about it this weekend. But I'll look into Rebekah's, thank you.

Love Otto, the rugelach especially at Cozy Corner, the Centerbrook cheese shop and Ashlawn for sure! Has anyone been to Wright's?

A colleague and I put together a road trip list of dining destinations off of I-95 en route to the casinos you may find helpful.

Thanks, too, for reminding me I've been meaning to try Bufalina for a long time.

Has anyone been to Carson's on Whitfield in Guilford? Their food looks great in photos, but haven't been yet.

kattyeyes commented 4 years ago

Thank you, just seeing your response now. Appreciate it.

More than four years later, I google to find the answer to the same question and I find ... YOU! :) I know you use it, Meesch--is Park Street your go-to spot, or have you found another?

kattyeyes commented 4 years ago

No, by "something new," I was referring to the farm-to-table event at Lyman's stuartlafonda had posted. But I absolutely stand by my mom's assessment of learning to ski at Powder Ridge!

kattyeyes commented 4 years ago

kattyeyes commented 4 years ago

News to me--not sure if they've done it before or this is something new. Interesting!

kattyeyes commented 4 years ago

You won't go wrong with either choice. Know that Taino is outside seating right now and they've done a really nice job with it.

As to your history in this area, we've probably crossed paths. My parents' card shop was across the street from Wendy's in that timeframe. :) P.S. My mom always says if you learned to ski at Powder Ridge you can ski ANYWHERE!

I recommended Rustica in Chester to friends on their anniversary. They loved it. Think you will, too.

Have fun--if the lines are long at O'Rourke's, cross the river to Sarah's on Main in Portland. I love it there!

I often take leftovers home from lunch there! :) So glad you enjoyed it, too.

kattyeyes commented 4 years ago

Correction re the windows: I called to inquire as I thought we were going tonight, but happy to report, the windows are closed. They said they would open them if I wanted--how about that?!

kattyeyes commented 4 years ago

Tannery? This?

I'm just gonna throw it out there as I've not seen it mentioned here. I really do like the phoritto at MexiPho. It is IMMENSE and tasty.

Gotcha. :)

kattyeyes commented 5 years ago

We missed your lunch window, didn't we, Elisa (sorry about that). Hope you found something great and will tell us what it was next time you're here.

kattyeyes commented 5 years ago

In Manchester, you can't and won't go wrong at Mulberry Street, a.k.a. The Mulb.

I've not yet been to Cafemantic (it's been on my "gotta get there" list for some time), but people who's taste I trust highly recommend:

If you haven't been since you were an infant, do seek out the Frog Bridge in Willimantic. :) I love those frogs. You will, too. :)

Yup, the one where Nardelli's is now was my growing up hometown DD location and the South Main one is closest to home for me now. I can't think of a DD that's on anything BUT a tiny plot of land. In theory, shouldn't we just be running in (or driving through) to get our stuff and get going?

kattyeyes commented 5 years ago

LOL @ flap! It boggles the mind why we have so much of the same thing in close proximity--and all opening around the same time. Maybe people are too chicken to try something else?!

kattyeyes commented 5 years ago

GEEZ, M'town is really TAKING OFF with all these WINGS! LOLOL! While we're at it, could someone PLEASE open another Dunkin' Donuts here?

Seriously, I would just about kill for a high quality Italian bakery. All these Italians and not a one! And we never had one, either. Go figure. Crazy, crazy.

kattyeyes commented 5 years ago

I would save myself the trip and go to Lucky Lou's. ;) Aren't you down New Haven way? I like Mickey's in Hamden. He does lamb, if I remember correctly. Not that that's on the way home from Hartford, but just adding on.

kattyeyes commented 5 years ago

Same here. Very glad.
