Dr. Chimmiri with Meriden Dental Group. He is very calm, reassuring, and non-judgmental. I had extreme anxiety about dental work and was embarrassed about the condition of my teeth. Not once has he or the staff made me feel bad or belittle me. I recommend him to everyone when I can because he rebuilt my confidence in going to the dentist's office.

None of that really speaks to why I don't like it, except what you said about the popcorn chicken. But nearly every chain has something like that, something that's pretty good. Sonic's food tastes extra processed and greasy overall. It's much more Midwestern/Southern than Northeastern/New England, from the food quality to the overall experience.

I like fast food, I like sugary drinks occasionally. But I don't need a giant cherry limeade slush or something, a can of Coke is plenty.

It will really depend on your nurse who is going to be there for you most of the time. They are pushing breast is best policy and their lactation consultant sucks (2 I have encountered, they use a lot of shame and guilt trip). Like some baby will be born hungry and whatever you produce won't be enough and babies will cry, give me the formula! I will say, you have to advocate for yourself, if you don't ask for something, they won't bring it up.

Things that was annoying: lactation consultant said I won't have a success breastfeeding journey because I refuse to pump while giving baby formula which is true because I fed my first kid for 18 months), I asked for the lowest dosage of pain killer in the middle of the night(15 hours after c section because I am expect to get up, change diaper and feed baby without any help and the nurse was guilt tripping me about the medicine lowering.y supply) and also they don't have a "nursery" anymore, it is call a procedure room and they really guilt you for trying to get them to take the baby there and they bring it back after an hour. They are very cheap with their supplies. Their postpartum bathroom are like gas station quality. The delivery rooms are nice, got that Ikea vibe. But I mean is there even any other choices if you live in the suburbs of New Haven, if you can afford it, maybe hire a doula

Seymour and Woodbury have an antiques trail. Lots of shops.

I’m not sure when it opens, but Elephant’s Trunk is an awesome flea market for Sunday mornings. Should be open in May. Antiques and more. Not quite southern, but worth going north.

Book Barn is lovely if either of you are readers. That’s in Niantic.
