There's Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, if that's your thing. Greenwich Avenue in Greenwich is a nice street to walk along, there's a good amount of shopping (typically higher end) and quite a few restaurants as well, plus a park with a playground, and the best Restoration Hardware store I've ever seen!

All in all, no, there's nothing exceptional, at least as far as I've gathered. Some good places to eat, some good places to pick apples, and some good places to hang out - but probably nothing that's an absolute must.
Yea, the family is not about casino's so thats kinda out. Mostly the parents wanted to check out the ferry ride with the car and also if there was anything to do once we are on the other side. I'll have to look into the apple/pumpkin picking and museums like you suggested. Any coupons for the ferry ride round trip (is that at all interesting in and of itself)?

So you just leave me there on the side of the road, possibly having to whore myself out to get a ride? WTF?!?

I've never taken the ferry, but I think there tend to be coupons/deals if you dig around on the internet. I can actually see Long Island from my office, seems like a scenic ride. I'll let you know if I think of anything else! Outside of farm-type stuff though, Fairfield County will be your best bet. Greenwich, parts of Norwalk, maybe New Canaan. No Bridgeport. Definitely no Bridgeport.

Come on man, you know me better than that. I'd call you an Uber driven by a European gun model.


My car only has enough seats for the women, and if I learned anything from watching Titanic, it's that you're supposed to save as many women as possible.

no we have paid professionals that on a rescue truck can get there in minutes and can actually make the situation better, the so called "good people" are the idiots slowing things down and all they can offer is a stupid "are you ok"

Well, someone needs to stop and check that the professionals have been called. If I'm injured and can't get to my phone and everyone drives by making the assumption I'm ok, that's not very helpful.

We have a saying down here....'I wouldn't stop to piss on them if they were on fire'

That's not my motto, but if their car had a Clemsux tag - I might take that path

Don't worry bimmette at minimum I would mark it on Waze as Hazard --> Side of the road --> Vehicle --> direction of traffic --> submit

When I still had the SOS button for free on my car, I would press it and notify them to let the local Police know about it. Did that for a few car accidents I witnessed. Usually when my guy friends or I are driving about we usually have our coding cable, laptop, and INPA at hand with some basic tools so if we see a stranded Bimmer we can at least help them get going (But I wouldn't suggest any girls to do this kinda stuff, far to risky). Never came across a stranded girl in a car, but I think i would probably just call 911 or local cops to let them know a woman is stranded on the side of the road rather then be that creepy guy who stops to ask if they are okay. Cops usually respond quickly if you say a single female is on the side of the road. It's also a great way to get AAA to come out to fix a flat or a tow... cuz if it's a guy... they wait hours to come out.
