NYC commute as New Mom

Looking to move to Cos Cob, Old Greenwich, Greenwich, or Riverside area. I am new mom who commutes into NYC 3-5x per week for work. Trying to understand and find advice a day in my life as a mom in the morning. Is the commute grueling? Manageable?

Baby Shower Recommendations

Hi everyone! I’m starting to look into baby shower venues and would love recommendations from people who know the area. Does anyone know of good places to host a baby shower in Greenwich, CT?

I’m open to any type of venue (restaurants, tea rooms, event spaces, country clubs, etc.). Probably looking for something for around 50–70 guests with a nice atmosphere and good food.

Would love to hear places you’ve used or attended showers at. Thanks!

Request: Recommendation for Hair Stylist

Hi all - My girlfriend and just moved to Stamford and she needs a new hair stylist. Happy to travel wherever and pay whatever for the best option.

Very important notes/context from her:
- I have medium thick, straight hair so the bottom gets puffy when they cut it blunt and it’s so bad I can use it as a paint brush
- GOAL: Someone that can cut straight hair and not leave it blunt on the ends

If anyone has anyone that they love and generally would fit this criteria, I’d love if you could point us in the right direction! Thank you in advance!

Finding a nanny and current hourly rates

Can you please share your experience on what current hourly rates are for nannies in Greenwich (and whether that’s for 1 or 2 kids)? Any suggestions on finding a nanny if we are new / don’t have any ties to the area? I assume local parents’ groups might be a good resource. If I’ll only be going back to work part time – would it be that much harder to find a part-time nanny in a place like Greenwich? (I’ve just heard that most nannies everywhere prefer a full-time role so finding a good person on a part-time basis can be harder). Thank you!

But it remains unknown whether the Connecticut resident knew about Epstein's sexual assaults, which one victim said once happened just on the other side of a closed door from where Groff was working.
