New Canaan Food Revolution

The New Canaan Food Revolution, inspired by Jamie Oliver returns for a FIFTH year on Saturday, May 18th between 9.30am – 11:30am. The Bravery Passport and Food Trail was created by local resident Rachel Lampen to encourage children of all ages to sample small bites that they would never normally try. Food they haven’t heard of, food that looks or smells different or food that just sounds weird. In previous years, parents have been amazed to see their children’s food barriers broken down as they try everything from Kale Smoothies, to Snails! Nowadays children AND adults are encouraged to participate – as long as you are wearing a special wristband.

‘Discover New Canaan’ Launch Party

Spring is almost here and Treasure Hunt Tours feel that getting to know and support downtown – whether you are a resident or visitor is essential. That’s why we created a seasonal brochure, which will appeal to adults and kids and encourage them to walk, rediscover, shop and eat. This was an intensive labor of love, and as such we invite you to celebrate the official release at Against The Grain on Friday, March 22nd between 6-8pm. Wine, beer & snacks will be served!

New Canaan Biz on Biz: Pennyweights on The Candy Scoop

[Editor’s Note: In this feature, we’re asking people who own a New Canaan business or work in town about personal favorites from other businesses here—products, services, decor, music, anything.]

By Michael Dinan

Though Kelly Sigg has owned Elm Street mainstay Pennyweights with husband Geoff for 14 years, it wasn’t until three months ago that a business arrived in town to capture both her heart and sweet tooth. “I love the salted caramel at The Candy Scoop,” Sigg told NewCanaanite.com when asked about her local favorites for “Biz on Biz.” “The mixture of the salt with the sweetness, it’s delicious,” she said. Sigg isn’t alone in that opinion. Megan Palladino, a 2009 New Canaan High School graduate and town resident who owns The Candy Scoop with big sister Lauren, said the shop’s “Lake Champlain Sea Salt Caramels” became so popular so quickly that they sold out.
