Have you heard about the hottest new Chinese restaurant in West Hartford? 🔥 @sichuanalleyus recently opened this past fall, bringing delicious modern Chinese cuisine with a Szechuan influence to the area! We instantly loved the vibe of the dining room, and the menu had so many fantastic choices. There’s even whole sections of the menu dedicated to gluten-free and vegan options! Many dishes are available spicy or non-spicy, so there’s truly something for everyone. Sichaun Alley actually got its start in Singapore, and West Hartford is its first U.S. location! The restaurant is open daily for lunch and dinner. If you plan to dine in, we highly recommend making reservations, as it was already packed when we went at lunchtime. Takeout is also available in addition to delivery through UberEats and DoorDash. Sichaun Alley has definitely entered our top 5 for best Chinese in CT! Visit our Instagram page for details on all featured menu items! #foodofct #westhartford #westhartfordct #hartfordcounty #connecticutlife #menu #ctfoodies #ctbloggers #ctblogger #ctblog #connecticuteats #connecticut #ctrestaurant #ctrestaurants #connecticutfood #ctlocal #weha #westhartfordfoodie #westhartfordliving #chinesefood #chinesefoodlover #chineserestaurant #modernchinese #connecticutfoodie

Good news! 🎉 Good News Restaurant & Bar has officially reopened! After the retirement of the former owner and world-renowned chef, Carole Peck, the restaurant has returned under a new owner with a fresh look. If you’re familiar with Good News, you’ll still find an eclectic vibe and favorites from the original menu. We were very impressed by the farm-to-table options and the quality of our meal. It’s definitely a new favorite of ours in Woodbury, and we look forward to coming back and trying more! You can find Good News in Woodbury’s Sherman Village Shopping Center, open daily for lunch and dinner.

Many times when we find ourselves on the Berlin Turnpike, we stop in to @T-Swirl Crepe 📍Berlin, CT for a little treat! 😋 They specialize in Japanese style crepes, which are made with rice flour rather than wheat flour, making them gluten-free! You’ll find them to be crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside. They hold the fillings so well that you can skip the fork & knife and just take a bite, making it an easy on-the-go snack! @T-Swirl Crepe has so many flavors to choose from! On this visit, we went with their refreshing strawberry cheesecake crepe, as well as one of their newest flavors, dulce de leche! T-Swirl offers boba tea in addition to crepes, so we had their taro milk tea and strawberry banana slush. You can find T-Swirl nationwide, with CT locations in Berlin, Fairfield, New Haven, Middletown, and the Danbury Mall. You can also order delivery through UberEats and DoorDash! If you’ve visited before, let us know what you usually order so we can try it next time! Head to my Instagram for more details on what we ordered. Fun fact: T-Swirl’s namesake comes from the “T” shaped tool they use to spread out the batter on their crepe pans! #foodofct #berlin #berlinct #hartfordcounty #connecticutlife #menu #ctfoodies #ctbloggers #ctblogger #ctblog #connecticuteats #connecticut #connecticutfood #ctlocal #tswirlcrepes #tswirlcrepe #berlinturnpike #japanesecrepe #japanesecrepes #sugar #crepe #crepes #crepeshop #crepelovers #dessert #sweettreats

You’ll never “fur-get” a night at Hair of the Dog in Milford! 🐶 This spot is more than just your average neighborhood spot—it’s a labor of love by the owner, Sandra, a Milford native with over 35 years of experience in the restaurant business. In 2020, she decided to take a bold step and turn the bar where she’d worked for years into her own, giving the space a fresh identity while maintaining its community feel. From menu items all named after popular songs to walls lined with pictures of memes, Sandra’s goal is simple: to create a space where everyone feels welcome and entertained. Whether you’re stopping by for a drink, delicious food, or just the vibrant atmosphere, you’ll definitely wish this was your neighborhood bar! Their patio also looks like a great place to hang out in the warmer weather! Side note: we ran into @wingaddicts while we there, and they said that Hair of the Dog’s scarpariello wings are their third favorite wings in the whole state! They were also talking about French onion soup wings that are a secret menu item we hope try some time 🍗 Definitely worth keeping in mind with the Super Bowl coming up! 🍳 Brunch is served every Saturday & Sunday 11am-3pm (acoustic music on Sundays) 🎶 Tuesday nights have karaoke starting at 7pm 🍸 Thursday is Ladies’ Night with $5 drink specials 🍽️ Happy Hour is every weekday from 3-6pm with half priced apps Visit my Instagram page for descriptions on all featured menu items! @sandrahotdwtfnetw #foodofct #milford #milfordct #newhavencounty #connecticutlife #menu #ctfoodies #ctbloggers #ctblogger #ctblog #connecticuteats #connecticut #ctrestaurant #ctrestaurants #connecticutfood #ctlocal #hairofthedog #barfood #bar #neighborhoodbar #ctbar #ctdrinks #cthappyhour

If you’re a wine & charcuterie lover, the newly opened @Wine & Cheese Social in Watertown is for you! 🍷🧀 This isn’t your typical restaurant - it’s a social club concept. Make yourself comfortable at any seat you wish, whether it’s inside the former bank vault, at the bar downstairs, or a cozy spot upstairs. Open from Wednesday-Saturday 5pm-12am, we think this spot is perfect for pre-dinner bites and drinks, or as a late-night hang out. The menu offers fantastic charcuterie boards, small bites, and several dessert options. Mixed drinks and wine can be ordered at the bar downstairs, with another wine bar upstairs. There’s often live music, and it’s a really cool vibe! Such a great addition to Watertown that we hope you can check out soon! Featured Menu Item ⬇️ • Social Board: freshly baked house bread (Litchfield, CT), house-made spread, grapes, berry trio, dates, dried apricots, nut medley, tomato & mozzarella skewers, mixed olives, prosciutto, dried salami, hot & sweet capicola, black peppercorn asiago, blueberry bathed Wisconsin small batch cheese, onion balsamic Wisconsin small batch cheese, Italian sharp cheese, & chocolate chunks (can be ordered in different sizes from as small as a personal size or up to 15 people - we chose the 2 person one and it was quite generous, and we thought the prices were reasonable for the quality and portion!) #foodofct #watertown #watertownct #litchfieldcounty #connecticutlife #menu #ctfoodies #ctbloggers #ctblogger #ctblog #connecticuteats #connecticut #socialclub #socialclubs #connecticutfood #ctlocal #ctwine #wineandcheese #wineandcheesenight #charcuterie #charcuterieboard #charcuterieboards #winelover #winelovers #litchfieldcountyct #winetime

Tamales are one of my favorite foods, so I was really excited when I found out I could get them delivered to my doorstep thanks to Texas Tamale Company 😍 These are an easy-to-make meal that would be perfect as part of your New Year celebrations too! You don’t have to wait for them to ship - you could visit Price Chopper in Southington and Newington and find them in the frozen food aisle! We recommend steaming them for the best experience, but you can also heat them up quickly in the microwave. I had my parents over for lunch, and we all enjoyed their beef & chicken tamales, as well as their homestyle chili! Texas Tamale Company has been around for 35+ years, and their products are even gluten-free. If you love tamales as much as I do, these are a must-buy! #foodofct #texastamales #tamaletime #yummytexmex #connecticutlife #menu #ctfoodies #ctbloggers #ctblogger #ctblog #connecticuteats #connecticut #tamaleday #tamales #connecticutfood #ctlocal #frozenfood #cincodemayo #munchies #fiesta #yummy #pricechopper #tamale #tamaleseason #makeathome #nationwideshipping #tamalesfordays #tamalestamalestamales

2024 - what a year! 🎉 We bought a house and quickly learned many lessons about home ownership after a flood and multiple construction projects 🏠 got married 👰🏻‍♀️ and of course, went on a ton of foodie adventures in between! 🍽️ We’re hoping for a much calmer 2025 and are looking forward to traveling more, celebrating Colten’s brother’s college graduation, and seeing my best friend get married in the coming year!

It took everything in me to lecture myself that I did not need another lounge set despite how flipping cute this one is 😫 I’m proud of myself for walking away from this one even though I really love it. It’s from the Wild Fable line at Target and comes in a few colors. Perfect for cozy winter days! #target#targetstyle#targetfashion#wildfable#cableknit#loungeset#loungewear#winterstyle#cozyvibes#bargainshopper#ltkstyletip#styleonabudget#affordablestyle#affordablefashion#ctblogger
