💧It’s been a day of rain scrolling Instagram 💧

This grim weather has us dreaming up the 🌈 at the end of the storm. ☀️Sunnier summer mornings? Yes, please. 🏖️ Beach getaway? We’ll take two.

To help make those get-out-and-play days feel a little closer, we indulged in some summer essentials over at redesigned site. We may or may not have spent more than an hour meditating on the perfect thread colors for monograms on their just-launched personalization section, too. Hint: we did. We couldn’t resist the perfect carry-on tote 👜, a packable surfer hat 👒 and a court-ready 🧢.

Start designing your sunny days now.

“The existence of poverty in our own backyard has very real consequences for those directly affected, but also for all of us,” says Nancy Coughlin, CEO of Person to Person. “At the core of its mission, Person to Person embodies the spirit of community, offering a lifeline to those in need.”

Sixty percent of P2P’s clientele comes from Stamford, which amounted to 16,684 residents last year. The organization maintains three full-time food pantries in Darien, Norwalk and Stamford. Of the 2.6 million meals they’ve served over the years, 58 percent have been to residents here. Emergency financial aid, including rent support and security deposits, is also vital to their clients.

In order to continue the important work of fostering a more stable, resilient and prosperous community at large, Person to Person is hosting its third annual spring fundraiser, Rock N’ Raise, THIS THURSDAY April 4 at The Loading Dock. The event promises to be a fun evening featuring live music by The Nerds, auction, paddle raise and an overview of P2P’s mission-driven programs, which includes the launch of a second mobile food pantry and the expansion of its Financial Opportunity Center.

🌿 Spring to Life 🌿

Hello, nice to meet you, I’m Melinda Anderson. I’m honored to introduce myself as the new editor-in-chief of Stamford magazine. And I’m thrilled to share the March issue, my first, which is on newsstands now.

A sneak peek:

🏡Suzanne Gannon tours the Shippan Point home of Jill Kirk, whose Instagram account,
, documents the renovation of said Colonial and helped catapult the design business she previously described as a hobby into a full-time enterprise.

🏘️ Scott Thomas reports on the state of local real estate.

🌷Tom Connor shares just how our gardens grow in 2024.

Plus:

📚 In-season books 🥗 Food trucks that deliver the yum 🥍 Stamford High’s star LAX player 👗Spring fashion in full bloom

➕so much more

Please drop me a line to say hi, introduce yourself, and tell me what you’d like to see in these pages and online. I’d love to hear from you as we continue Stamford magazine’s tradition of celebrating the people and places that make our city so special.

Finally (finally!) got over to for a Friday night dinner out.

The scene is lively with a fun mix of people. The service is aces (looking at you, Christian.) The food is yum. Pork scarpariello on a still-snowy February evening might just be the thing to carry you through the last of the season, and tagliatelle con vongole that somehow manages buttery comfort paired with lightness felt just right. The drinks are also as promised—bracing and bold.

Excited for what spring will bring to the table at this Main Street addition.

🍺About Last Night 🍺

Thrilled to welcome 🆕 self-pour beer/wine/cider establishment Hop & Vine Taproom to Spring Street.

📷:
🏫Two-story starts to fill up on opening night Jan. 3.
🍻Our first flight of beers—local and delish.
🍔Just as yum were the burrata, sliders and Texas Tw***ies from the gastro-pub menu. What’s a Texas Tw***ie you ask? Why it’s the elevated jalapeño popper you never knew you needed.
⚙️Co-Owner Matthew Ventura in the center of where the magic happens.

How it works:
☑️ Check in at the front desk for a card that’ll keep your tab.
🫗Explore and pour local beers and wines in whatever size you like.
🍽️ Enjoy snacks or a full meal from the menu.
🎯Play darts, shuffleboard and more, or simply hang out.
🍸There’s a full bar as well if you’d like to get spirited instead of hoppy.
☑️ Check out on leaving.

Welcome to Stamford!

📧 We want to hear from you! 📧

🍸A favorite topic of cocktail conversation this holiday season was sharing visions for our city. From the big, big (⛴️ A ferry to NYC! 🛝A reimagined Cummings Park!) to the—by the sound of it, anyway—more immediately doable (🚥 A traffic light in front of our school! ⚽️ A new turf field for our soccer stars!), we all seem to delight in dreaming up ideas for Stamford’s future.💡

🧞‍♂️What’s on your wish list? We want to know! Please send us your hopes and ideas for possible inclusion in an upcoming issue. 📖
