It’s the URBY ring - designed to hypnotize residents of Stamford to become loyal to urby and urby alone

big agree on that! espcially with the closest persian resturant being kolbeh in white plains..

I like village because there's a much shorter wait time and i think they're pretty on par in terms of quality. but depends on what im in the mood for. when my (long distance) boyfriend visited for the first time i took him to liz sue because its a quintessential Stamford experience

I love freshco! she sells persian stews on the side as well, they're great

Not totally sure but my friend works at Hartford Prints so I have the obligation to plug them

Village bagels too

Third kotobuki - been going there since I was a kid

SPS get a bad rap - I think that the programs are really great and you see a lot of students having successful career paths. The bad reputation is likely because of the mixing of a wider range of SES group compared to the richer towns (New Canaan, Greenwich, Darien). I agree with the other commenters that a rich and diverse community is a huge benefit to the school experience.

magnet schools were well described. I went to AITE for high school and was in their PLTW program for biomed, now I'm in medical school - plenty of other factors contributed to that, but I would say that my high school benefited me immensely in this journey.
