Did anyone get that email today? I understand they are rebranding but does that mean they are completing unaffiliated with the CycleBar brand? I’m so upset if so!

Mechanic Recommendations?

Looking for a place in Stamford to get our car checked out. Been driving up to a place in north Wilton for years and our check engine light just came on, so finally want to find a local option.

Any recommendations for a 2006 Volvo?

Luca Guadagnino’s Queer

I have a day off tomorrow and wanted to see Queer in theatres but they’re not showing it anywhere in Stamford according to the AMC app.

I thought it was coming out in December but it says the release date was November 27th. Does anyone know if they showed it at any of our AMCs that day?

Lenny’s Steakhouse (New Location)

Madonia has come to a full close, they sold their restaurant to the already well knownn Lenny's Steakhouse! They come from a long and high reputation, already having 2 locations! The original restaurant is in Larchmont and the 2nd restaurant is in Armonk! They will now have their third in Stamford. I cannot wait!

The arrival

Anyone here lived/s in the Arrival apartment complex? If so, are amenities fees included in the rent price? I assume utilities are separate?

Gym Recommendation (Lifetime or Chelsea Piers)

Hi all, I am 25 and moving to Stamford in the coming months and looking for a gym. Lifetime is $179/mo and Chelsea Piers is $135/mo (Black Friday deal). The location of Lifetime could be better as it’s closer to my office, but guessing not as many features in the gym compared to Chelsea Piers.

I’m guessing Lifetime is a young professional crowd whereas Chelsea Piers is a mix of families? I’m interested in going to their NYC locations occasionally and Chelsea Piers is cheaper to do so. If anyone has an opinion on this or other gyms I would appreciate it!

Drinks? Happy hours?

I would love a friend to do happy hour or drinks with during the day once or twice every few weeks. Don’t have many friends around here and my career affords me lots of time. Just shoot a message if interested. No, I won’t do dating sites or hookup sites.

Memories Stamford Mall

Just went back to the Stamford Mall for the first time in about 15 years, and… wow. What happened to it? So many stores are closed, and the major anchor stores are completely gone. It used to be so lively and packed, but now it feels like a ghost town. Really sad to see how much it’s changed. Anyone know what led to this? Is there hope for it to bounce back?

Pre-Xmas family activity ideas in and around Stamford?

We have family visiting for the holidays - 2 sets of parents in their 60s/70s and two adult siblings in their 30s/40s (no kids).

Would love suggestions for an activity (to get out of the house) we could do with the group on Sun/Mon 12/22-23. This is the first time we have both sides of the family getting together, and think an activity to keep folks occupied would be great.

Paint and sip, craft center, cooking classes etc might all be interesting but I can only find a paint and sip in the area. Any ideas welcome!

Where to buy straw?

I need some straw for gardening, but the nearest farm supply Tractor Supply Co. In NY. Anyone know of a closer spot where you could get straw/hay/alfalfa? I’m not picky about type.
