    I grew up in Greenwich. Graduated from Greenwich High School. I haven't been for 15 years. I miss it. I used to take the train from NYC to Greenwich and back. We used to camp on the island you mentioned that you need to take a ferry. These were my childhood memories. Thank you for bringing them back!

    Awwww this brought back so many memories. I loved growing up here. I had my first volunteer job at the Bruce Museum. I love l'escale but you missed Garden Catering. Its a local multi generational favorite with the best fried food you'll ever eat. Also you didnt get to go toTodds Point. Although you need to be a resident to go to Todds. Next time you visit us you need to go to both if you can get a guest pass or go with someone :))

    When Greenwich was founded, it was part of New Haven Colony, not Connecticut. New Haven Colony was headquartered in New Haven and established by hardline Puritans who found Massachusetts too soft and democratic. New Haven Colony, of course, disappeared long ago and was absorbed by Connecticut and has been part of Connecticut ever since. When New Haven Colony was absorbed by Connecticut right after the Restoration, many of its residents moved to New Ark in New Jersey.
