Local Top 8

Budget Travel highlighted eight places each American citizen should see. Inspired by that model, let's think of the eight places you should check out in Stamford:

(1) Cove Island on a sunny day
(2) The Avon Theater
(3) The Stamford Nature Center
(4) Napa Restaurant
(5) Palace Theatre - Stamford Center for the Arts
(6) Summer Street during the UBS Parade Spectacular
(7) Landmark Square when Santa straps on the rappelling gear
(8) Columbus Park during Alive@5

Alt suggestions? Bring it.

    Instead of on a sunny day, Cove Island at sunrise.

    The annual arts and crafts fair.

    A walking tour of whatever that year's downtown statues are.

    Restaurant destinations should have their own top 8: Colony, Napa, Telluride, Brasitas are 4 to start with...

    Kosciuszko Park in the South End. Water on 3 sides, great views of the harbor, excellent walking/running path, lots of trees near the water. Many people know nothing about it and those who do haven't seen it since they finshed renovations about 2 years ago. Should not be missed.
