Franklin Street Works – Stamford’s Hidden Gem!

franklinworks1

A couple of us were walking down Franklin St., heading to our space when we noticed  a couple of signs and some flags beckoning us into a row house. We opened the door to Franklin Street Works and what we say totally blew our mind! This place has  a full gallery, showcasing works of art from all around the world. I’m told they have four different shows a year.

On top of this, the place has a full-service cafe, serving tasty sandwiches, along with a whole lunch menu.  Erin, the manager, said the cafe will open their outdoor patio this spring, so patrons can enjoy the outdoors along with their food. They also serve beer! Who knew?!!! You gotta check this place out!!! We’re definitely going back!!!  Oh, Erin makes awesome cakes too!!!!!

peoplefriendlystamfordThe city of Stamford, in cooperation with the Downtown Special Services District and People Friendly Stamford, will be hosting its annual bike-to-work event. But instead of just being a single day of events – they’ve gone and scheduled a whole WEEK of ’em! This all goes down May 11 – 15th … more details coming.

We just got word this morning that the Stamford YMCA will be offering their shower facilities for FREE to all bike commuters. Moreover, the Y is considering creating a special 4-month membership specifically to those who bike to Stamford.

The enthusiasm is growing!  Join the party!!
