Odd since the cafe is an independent business and definitely not residents-only.

I think /u/coolduckingcool has the right idea based on your goals.

• Fly into Boston
• > Amtrak train to Mystic
• > MetroNorth train to New Haven and/or Stamford (I’m partial to Stamford but either or both would be worth checking out)
• > MetroNorth train to NYC
• Fly out of JFK

You’ll hit 4-5 solid towns/cities, each a bit different.

MetroNorth is significantly cheaper than Amtrak, doesn’t require you to pre-book tickets, and runs more frequently. So that would be your best bet for getting along the coast and into NYC, though technically you could take Amtrak if you really wanted to.

Personally I would skip New Haven and just go from Mystic to Stamford, mainly due to its proximity to NYC. One less separate lodging expense. And you can easily get to JFK from Stamford (if you didn’t want to spend the night in the city), though for that I would use an Uber instead of the trains as there’s no direct route to JFK and it just takes longer by public transport.

What style?

$180, 760sqft 1 bedroom apartment. Electric heat but honestly that’s irrelevant because our heat hasn’t been on all winter. Genuinely not sure wtf we’re paying for. Family size of 2 people.

Yeah I always love the idea of restaurant week but realistically we usually order 1 app to share and 2 entrees, no dessert. You may get more ‘bang for your buck’ with these deals, but in total it’s always more than what we’d normally spend.

Those are really nice. It’s a shame they don’t include a washer/dryer. Total deal breaker for me.

Unfortunately I can’t help you but I’m honestly wondering where you found a large 2 bedroom for < 3000/month near downtown.

Olio is fantastic. Cafe Silvium is really good too.

I went to Prime recently and it was great but definitely very expensive.

Norwalk Community College Spring 2023. Can search for other semesters. Just leave the subject blank and you’ll get all the available classes. Some notable options include piano, guitar, drawing, boating, various languages, computer science, yoga, photography, acting.

Search specific interests on Groupon.

And finally I’d just search specific interests in Google. That’s how I found a nearby adult ASL class when I was living in Hartford.

Appreciate the link! I really wasn’t sure where to even start.

My boyfriend plays frequently at LA Fitness

There’s also a bunch of adult leagues throughout the year

Oh cool I didn’t know we had an Anytime Fitness, I’ll have to check that out.

Underground Fitness is big but not as big as LAF or The Edge. Still gets crowded like commercial gyms do at peak times though.

There’s a Crunch Fitness near the Costco in Norwalk that may be more your vibe (and mine, honestly) but i95 traffic makes it miserable to get there after work, so I don’t go there.

There’s a bunch of small class-oriented gyms like Carozza Fitness and F45.

If you’re looking for pelvic floor PT, that is available through Stamford medical group in the hospital and they do take insurance.
