Just Got Home

Well, we had a great time, as always. Some observations.

First, don%26#39;t hesitate to bring your down clothing this time of year because when the wind howls, boy o%26#39; boy it was freezing. Some days were sweater only, however.

The Red Parrot is still my favorite restaurant and I will never go back to the Brick Alley Pub. There was a long, long wait and altho service was excellent, the food was so-so. The salad bar is filthy; don%26#39;t go near it and if you order a salad with your dinner, the wait staff makes them at the bar. You%26#39;re warned. I must say, tho, that a chocolate cake/ice cream dessert that was served in a huge glass was top-notch and reminded me of Serendipity on 60th Street.

Thanksgiving Buffet at Fathoms, the restaurant at the Marriot, was excellent and I suspect that the food there is consistently good.

Firehouse Pizza is a disaster, Skip it.

The pastries at Panero%26#39;s on America%26#39;s Cup are excellent.

In an earlier thread, a writer posted a note about the Boulangerie at 382 Spring Street. Skip it. You can make better baguettes in your breadmaker at home; the brownies were from a mix and the vegetable quiche was dry and far too salty. Oh, and the young lady behind the counter was OTL (as in ';out to lunch';).

I%26#39;ll be posting some comments about the Inn On Long Wharf later should you be interested in reading about this Fairfield property.

Just Got Home

i know this was after Thanksgiving, but I would like to know how Inn on Long Wharf was. I am thinking about buying points from there.
