and watch an intimate Cabaret evening of great songs by Stephen Sondheim in honor of his 90th Birthday! (Cabaret held Nov. 23, 2019 before a live audience of Summer Theatre Patrons at the Performing Arts Conservatory of New Canaan studios).
Despite rainy days forecast for the week ahead, New Canaan received true, prolonged tastes of spring with picture-perfect weather the past two weekends. With Spring at long last arrived in earnest, local restaurateurs such as Henry Rosenbaum of Boulevard 18 began preparation for the resulting demand for outdoor dining. “We are thrilled,” Rosenbaum said on a recent evening at Boulevard 18, also a top-5 most romantic New Canaan restaurants selection. “We had people out on Friday and Saturday night on the patio, which was the sign for spring.”
In addition to the idyllic al fresco dining on Main Street at Boulevard 18, New Canaan’s “Restaurant Row” has several options, including Cava, Tequila Mockingbird and the soon-to-be-reopened Farmer’s Table where chef Robert Ubaldo and partner Lucia Leone are working nonstop to get the former Bistro Bonne Nuit space ready for business. NewCanaanite.com received an impromptu peek at the new Farmer’s Table space, which will feature an open kitchen and rustic design in addition to the sidewalk patio.

NEW CANAAN – There’s nothing like a little romance to bring some warmth to this insanely cold and snowy winter we’ve had here in New Canaan. For those not willing to brave the elements and are instead looking to stay local for Valentine’s Day, here’s a few destinations well worth checking out. Roger Sherman Inn – The Roger Sherman is one of the last of its kind in this area, and part of the reason it has survived where others have not is because of its acclaimed restaurant. One of the most romantic spaces in Fairfield County, Executive Chef Christophe Cadou’s French menu will feature a special Valentine’s Day prix fixe for $75 per person. Elm – The slogan at this high-end, sophisticated New American is “rooted in tradition, inspired by the seasons,” and Chef Brian Lewis’ ultra-fresh, refined cuisine consistently delivers.
