a handful of favorites



Weekends in Connecticut are a Summer staple for me. I revel in the chance to read on the train, with minimal distractions (aside from pug on lap).

While waiting for your train, I would suggest picking up a half-bottle for sharing, at Grande Harvest Wines (in Grand Central). They will cork it, and give you a few plastic cups. They have a decent selection, the folks know what they're talking about- and genuinely enjoy what they do. Kudos to GHW- they even carry Seghesio, Sonoma Zinfandel.

To snack on, I enjoy Kasugai snacks- Japanese roasted nuts- (which you can buy from the vendor adjacent GHW). Thinking ahead- toss a bag of Kasugai gummy's in your tote. Muscat and Lychee are my favorites- but they are all super-juicy-delicious.
