I don’t know how much truth there is to it but Native Americans went to buy rum. That’s what I’ve always heard.

Where have I been. Never heard this. It’s fantastic for us Byram folks

do not do this. In the middle of the night when there is no construction, it's almost a defensible commute, even with the tolls. But during the day? no fucking way.

I moved from JC and have done the Stamford JC drive a couple of times. It’s awful.

They’re talking about Byram. We used to call it that growing up, and I’m from Riverside. Born in 92

It’s what a friend of mine who is from the Byram part of Greenwich calls Byram. Also the closest Connecticut neighborhood to Jersey City

Ok. I’m going to bite.

I’m fairly new to Stamford, and never heard that term.

What is it ? 😁

Any town where you can afford a helicopter to commute each day

The Byraqi I heard it from was born in 1987

I’m in Stamford and have turned down a few jobs in jersey- no thanks. From here if you fully avoid rush hour jersey city is around 1h 15min. But in rush hour likely closer to 2h

Bridgeport would be the safest bet.

I’ve lived in Greenwich since 1987. Never heard that before.

Heard that nickname from a Byraq native and it always makes me chuckle

The US invaded Byraq

I came here to say this lol

Driving to JC everyday? Honestly none… but yeah maybe Greenwich as it’s technically closest.

Byraq lmao

Not so much hidden gems, but here are some of t favorites -Village table -table 104 -pellicci's -amore’ -fiesta Can’t think of anything else right now I know you asked for Stamford, but match in Norwalk is top tier to me

They’re amazing!!

Places closer to nyc. So Stamford, Greenwich, Norwalk, Darien

Greenwich because it’s closest. I’d live in Byraq

My guess would be the closer the better which may depend on your budget.

None

Madonia on High Ridge is a hidden gem for date nights

And the CAVE people speak up! He is totally right. Too many apathetic contrarians are stopping progress only because progress goes against their antiquated belief system. On both sides of the aisle, people like to bitch and complain but… don’t tax me… not with my money while they use public goods and services nonchalantly. Stamford is a cultural ghost town as is the rest of many towns in this country. Community is dying for tribalism.
