Milford, Connecticut is overflowing with Asian cuisine. For such a tiny town, there’s some version of a Chinese/Japanese/Thai place every half mile, to the point where it’s starting to get weird. For this piece I’m just centering on just one immediate area: the JW-carved out range between the CT Post Mall and Milford Marketplace (Whole… Continue reading JW’s Asian Extravaganza

Restaurant Review: Crush Sports Cafe
If you’ve read my previous reviews, the last thing you would expect from me is to review a sports bar. I’ve done genre/lifestyle specific restaurants (G-Zen/Uncle Willie’s BBQ), high-end restaurants that have the chef’s name under the name of the place (Parallel Post – a Chef Dean James Max eatery!), or semi-popular takeout places (Layla’s).… Continue reading Restaurant Review: Crush Sports Cafe

Seaside Tavern Gets the Lyra Stamp of Approval
One thing Stamford musicians never have to worry about is finding a place to play – or getting some good grub before the gig. Last month, you read about Fiddler’s Green; this month, we’re featuring another staple of Stamford’s music scene, Seaside Tavern. (Not that Alternative Control is biased or anything… *cough*) This Cove… Continue reading Seaside Tavern Gets the Lyra Stamp of Approval
Fiddler’s Green: Your New Favorite Metal Bar — And the Food is Good, Too!
Fiddler’s Green is a bar that wears many hats. A landmark on the edge of Stamford’s Cove and Shippan neighborhoods, it’s a great spot for a morning beer, an afternoon darts game, or never-ending rounds of cards — and recently, Tommy Kipphut III, who runs the bar with his father Tom Kipphut Jr., has… Continue reading Fiddler’s Green: Your New Favorite Metal Bar — And the Food is Good, Too!
