Well Fed On the Town

This weekend, I dropped in on Chocopologie in Norwalk, Conn., with my two small children and two of my dear girlfriends. Chocopologie is the chocolate-themed cafe of chocolatier Fritz Knipschildt, who is known for his interesting filled chocolates (white chocolate with passionfruit, dark chocolate with chilis, etc). I’ve known about the cafe for several years, […]

Once the weather starts getting a bit warmer, and the chill of winter becomes a soon distant memory, we’re all itching to get outside and do a bit more exploring. If your explorations lean more towards the foodie side of things, you may be interested in a recent article in New York Magazine from […]

Why go for one book signing when you can meet five authors at once? The Borders Store in Milford, Connecticut, will feature a panel of five cookbook authors this Saturday at 1 p.m. … and one of our very own Well Fed writers will be there with her new book.

Certain restaurant environments that create an instantly warm and exciting impression with patrons; Prespa, a new continental restaurant in Danbury, Connecticut is one such establishment. Set back from the road, with an exterior facade reminiscent of a commercial office building, Prespa is something of a treasure awaiting its unveiling. The front doors lead to a […]

For my husband’s birthday last year, my parents gave him a gift certificate for dinner at Carmen Anthony’s Fishhouse in Woodbury, Conn. We’d never been there before, but it’s known as a great restaurant with several locations throughout Connecticut (some are fishhouses and others are steakhouses . . . all locations serve both fish and seafood).
We arrived […]

Mexicali Rose in Newtown, Connecticut, doesn’t look like much from the outside - just another storefront eatery with a clever sign. Located on Route 25 in the Ricci’s Plaza, you can’t let the location fool you. This isn’t just some hole in the wall.
When you walk in, you are met […]
