Have you tried Ramen and Bao in oxford? It’s a new place (very good) not sure how they stand on scallions and onions though or if they take requests like that

Do you need to come home every night? Could you do one or two nights in a NYC hotel each week to avoid the daily commute?

Can you afford to rent a place in the city? Maybe you could stay over a couple nights a week?

So you are asking for places and events that relate to your interests without stating your interests?

I’ll assume you like getting fucked in the ass and mouth eiffel tower style from two homeless unhoused men in desperate need of warm water and soap, in which case i would suggest a parking garage off the green past 2:14 AM on weekdays monday to wednesday

Depending on how much OP is getting paid, it may be worth it just to get a hotel Monday and Tuesday night if he can do three days in a row in NYC. Especially if it’s a high burn job that doesn’t end until 6/7pm.

Eventually see if either wife can move to a job closer to southern CT or NYC metro area. Or push his office days to just one day a week.

fuck no, and fuck you for asking

now the price is 2700 plus mandatory monthly tip (i recommend at minimum 70%)

no pets

Yeah - plus Hartford traffic is notoriously terrible. I’d advise against more than a 45m daily commute to Hartford given the likelihood of accidents and serious traffic jams that can add a ton of time to the commute. Not to mention when there’s the slightest bit of snow falling!

The NYC commute is certainly no cake walk, but Metro North is pretty reliable and consistent, and time on the train can be used to catch up on work or just relax. That’ll help OP because unfortunately, on their travel days, they wouldn’t have much other free time no matter how you slice it - though it would be somewhat balanced out with 2 wfh days.

I say this assuming both jobs are roughly equivalent in terms of either merit, salary, growth potential in the respective field, etc.

I would look for a place to live in West Hartford/Newington/New Britain/Berlin as housing costs are more affordable there compared to the shoreline, and OP can take Amtrak straight to New York City from either the Hartford or Berlin station and have OP’s employer buy OP Amtrak Ten Way tickets from Hartford to Penn Station while OP’s wife has a more reasonable commute.

Near the coastline: Chester, Deep River, Essex…quiet, small town feel, slower pace than Hartford suburbs. Really nice!

Nah, originally from near Green Bay, WI. Packer fan living in enemy territory for over a decade. Love it out here in CT so far from the last couple of trips we’ve made to visit family.

Sad situation friend

3 days a week isn't so bad if you can avoid rush hours....so like noon to 7 hours in NYC. If your boss permits this it'll save you hours of driving each day.

Sorry I meant Stonington not north stonington ill edit my post.

I won't buy Curaleaf. They're hooked up with Russian oligarch money. The big money players will take over the markets, but there's no point in rewarding Russian oligarchs for taking CT profits to support Putin and his wars.

Someone needs to quit.

I'm from the very rural part of Illinois. Enjoy your stay here! And your eventual move! (Although...Cubs fans?)

My wife and I do this. We moved out of Brooklyn to Milford, easier commute for her but tougher for me to get into the city, train is quite long but it’s doable if it’s not everyday. We bought a house in Fairfield and this has proved to be the most equal in terms of commute misery. Takes my wife about an hour to West Hartford, takes me roughly 90 minutes by train to grand central.

You need as in NEED to be east of Route 8 unfortunately. 5 days a week going from Fairfield toward 8 will get old real fast with traffic. It’s not as bad that direction but it still exists. For NYC on at Bridgeport or Fairfield for Metro North via 95. If you’re not in midtown, then you can audible gasp drive into NYC after about 9. Leaving is a fucking bitch though.

Take the direct train in for now, look for a new job

Divorce and get two places

right

No, 2 hours roundtrip

I’m curious: what’s changed with North Stonington over the years? I love that area, as it is very close to my hometown.
