I assure you, the woman that owns that building doesn’t care. She cares about getting that space functioning so she can have a stable tenant and rent.

It’s a construction zone, no one is going to take time out to spray paint plywood when this is how it’s commonly done.

Also if you belong to planet fitness, they have ESPN as one of the treadmill channels. It could be worth it for $10/mo!

If Tigins would do that on a regular basis that would be awesome! Also check around Norwalk for some similar spots.

If you have access to someone who pays for optimum cable/tv, you can log into the ESPN app with those credentials on Roku or any other device to watch the race.

I’ve lived at ASW since it opened and the “sound” is not a problem at all. ASW is tucked away from the main noises of Tresser behind Atlantic Station. You hear none of the construction in those developments. If someone happens to touch the St. John’s towers would be the only exception. For the building, it’s new construction, signs throughout that it was just built fast but you get what you need from the place. Amenities are nice, proximity to the train is even nicer, the building is always being cleaned. The garage is annoyingly tight but you will always find parking spaces. Prices are way below market that you would get from nyc (not sure where you are coming from) so in my opinion def worth it.

Fairgate farm on Stillwater ave in Stamford is the best kept secret. It’s closed now but will open in the spring. You can go there and help grow vegetables and they will let you have free vegetables for helping. They also have specials from all the local farmers near by http://fairgatefarm.com

Couldn't agree more. I'll stop by tomorrow and ask them if they'll show it Sunday. I'll let you know if I have good (or bad) news!

Might be worth petitioning tigins or another epl bar that opens early to show soccer on the weekends to put the race on.

Planning on watching from home but epl and f1 should go hand in hand

Agreed, Target just barely counts as a grocery store.

Yeah I get it, but $20 of a dark spray paint would go a long way and it wouldn’t look completely abandoned. If I owned this building I wouldn’t want it to look condemned.

Yes. Stamford has a small one in Veterans Park and there are a few others scattered around but it's out of season. There are many in the region year round the best of breed is TaSH in Tarrytown. http://tashfarmersmarket.org/ or for local to Stamford hit Sophia Market on Hope Street in Springdale.

Open space at the Smyth behind the new Fidelity Investor Center no the corner would be a perfect spot for a Trader Joes or Acme Market.

Since Black Bear (Hula Hanks), this place has been a multitude of failures in this spot. Hope something survives as it's so unclear why this location can't attract any restaurant with longevity to Columbus Park. The city has to make this more pedestrian friendly but it's a bus route so it will never be car free but it should. Same issue with the Japanese Hibachi spot that has been vacant across the street between Riviera Maya and Noches de Colombia.

The latest downtown fatalities were Betto Sushi which lasted less than 6 months next door to Liberty Tax on the other corner and Tamarindo Latin American on Atlantic Street at Landmark Square.

We toured 66 Summer last year and the leasing lady did brag about all the walls and floors being concrete. Very jealous cause where we ended up (Harbor Landing) certainly is not that.

I wholeheartedly agree with your endorsement of Kouzina. I went with my wife for the first time last weekend, it was a solid 8+.

Either way its the inconvenience of having to walk outside your building “across the street” or however far and then back up to whatever level your car is. Just warning OP that its going to be less convenient than other buildings around. Idk the parking situation at all for Atlantic Station though

Go complain about something that is completely normal

Another shah’s maybe ? :P

This doesn’t help for right now, but for future reference - there is a farmer’s market in New Canaan that opens 4/23 and one in Katonah (at John Jay Homestead) that also opens in the spring. If you want to go a bit farther, there’s also a decent one in Bethel.

Mikes Organics in Cos Cob looks about ready to open. Store looks fantastic from the outside at least

Farmer's markets around here typically carry produce grown within a certain range of the market. There is currently nothing in season in terms of fresh vegetables unless they're being grown in greenhouses or something. There is a downtown farmer's market, another one on High Ridge Road south CT-15, and one at the Stamford Nature Center. If they are open at all, then they won't have produce for a bit.

I think many of the farmer's markets are out of season right now but there is a spot called Mike's Organic downtown that also does local delivery which partners with local farms for produce, meat and dairy.

Current resident of 66 summer for the past 3 years. Really only have good things to say but as you said, the amenities are pretty minimal. Management does a good job of keeping the building clean, and any maintenance request I’ve submitted is usually fixed same day. It’s a smaller building so you don’t need to deal with all the usual corporate things to get things done. We pay $150 for 2 parking spots in the garage behind like another poster said, so don’t worry about parking. The one amenity I do enjoy is the rooftop in the summer. Also, I don’t know if it is my specific unit but I have never heard any neighbor noise, which I hear is a big complaint in general in Stamford.

66 summer probably has the best location in all of Stamford in my opinion being literally on the street with the Summer St restaurant, and right in the middle of Bedford and Main St.

Atlantic Station has the benefit of being close to the train, but not by many things to do.

Black bear had a good run
