I'm throwing an event this weekend in Norwalk and have a bunch of people coming from out of town. I'd like to have brunch somewhere on Sunday. Here's the kicker, I would prefer a place with counter service (rather than being waited on) so I don't have to worry about people showing up, reservations, splitting the bill, etc. Any recommendations? If not, what would be good for groups. Doesn't have to be around main street. Places off the beaten path, especially some of the Latino places south of 95 are also welcome suggestions!

Hey everyone! We’re a small, chill wallpaper company operating large-format printers (think giant Epson decal printers). We’re looking for a reliable person to jump in and give us a hand in the warehouse each morning.
The basics:
Schedule: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM (20 hours/week)
Pay: $25 / hour
Location: Norwalk/Westport. Cranbury area.
What the job looks like:
Loading and unloading large printers
Moving paper rolls around the shop
Stacking pallets and organizing materials
General extra-hands help around the warehouse
A quick note on physical requirements:
This is a physical role. Some of our paper rolls and materials are large, awkward, and heavy (100+ lbs). We have equipment to help with the heavy lifting, but you should be genuinely comfortable being on your feet and handling heavy materials daily.
If you’re dependable, easygoing, and this schedule works for you, shoot me a private message with a brief intro or a quick rundown of your experience, and we can chat. 👍

Thanks,
Ben

Which is better to get to work for a 9-5? i’m having car issues and trying to figure out the best way to get to work. the train doesn’t seem to run often but i’ve never tried the bus

I'm 21 and I'm honestly really tired of staying home and doing nothing. I want to start working, save up some money, and eventually pay for driving school so I can get my license.

I've been looking for jobs and have applied to quite a few, but some never get back to me and others just say no. A lot of the jobs I find also seem to want previous experience, which makes it difficult when I'm trying to get my foot in the door.

I don't have a lot of experience, but I'm very willing to learn and I'm hoping to find an employer who's willing to give me a chance and train me. I'm also trying to become more outgoing and get more comfortable talking to people.

I'm also not very good at math, but it's something I'm actively working on improving. I'm willing to practice and learn whatever I need to for a job.

I don't drive right now, but I will do everything in my power to make sure I get to work on time, including leaving early and figuring out transportation ahead of time.

If anyone knows of places hiring in Norwalk that are willing to give someone with little experience a chance, I'd really appreciate any recommendations.

Hi everyone :) I'm a woman in my late 30s looking to meet some new people in the area and thought I'd put myself out there.

I enjoy movies, checking out restaurants, dancing, trying new sports (not athletic, but I'd like to be), and creative things like writing fiction, art classes and photography. I'm pretty open to trying new things and hobbies and would love to meet people with similar interests.

My thought is to get a small group together somewhere casual to meet and see if we click. No pressure or expectations. If some of us hit it off, we can stay in touch and see where things go naturally.

Ideally, I'd love for this to lead to genuine, lasting friendships. I'm looking for people who actually want to make an effort to stay in touch, make plans, and get to know each other over time.

I'm hoping to meet people 30+ who are also looking to expand their social circle. I'd especially love to meet some other women in the area.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, please comment below :)

Hi all!

I moved up from Florida about three years ago and finally decided to pull my fishing gear back out of storage. I grew up doing a lot of Atlantic/shore, inlet, and river fishing in Florida, so I feel like some of those skills will translate, but I know basically nothing about fishing Long Island Sound.

I’m in Norwalk and can roam around Fairfield County. Looking for any recommendations on good shore spots, bait, rigs, tide timing, species I’m likely to run into, etc. I’m not really a species-specific angler, I tend to throw bait and see what decides to eat it 😂
Definitely a catch and release kinda gal, but maybe I’ll venture into cooking what I catch if it’s worth keeping/eating!

Also a huge fan of night fishing from shore. Are there any legal/access-friendly spots around here that stay open later? Calf Pasture and a lot of similar places seem to close around 10–11 pm.

Appreciate any local wisdom!

Hii, i have a single bed and bath in a 4 bed 4 bath townhouse, and I really would like a cleaner to deep clean just my room and bath.

I think it’s about 350-400 sq ft and not too dirty- I could clean it on my own even, I’ve just been procrastinating for so long that I’d love a one-time clean so I feel spoilt and can restart.

Any recommendations? Some website or numbers of people who are trustworthy? Should I try task rabbit? How much would this cost?

I move in late August. Where should I go and what to do? I’m open to trying new hobbies.

Hi! I’m visiting CT next week and my kid is obsessed with the train. We’ll be taking the metro north into Norwalk to meet some friends, and I’m wondering if anyone can recommend an activity suitable for a 3.5 year old within 20 minutes walk (with a stroller) of the train station.

Maritime Aquarium is nearby but a bit pricey for the amount of time we will be spending.

Thank you!

I’m considering moving to Halstead Norwalk and wanted to see if anyone here has lived there or knows someone who has.

Would love to hear any opinions—good or bad. How’s the management, maintenance, noise, amenities, parking, and overall experience living there? Also curious if there’s anything you wish you knew before moving in.

Thanks!

I witnessed a bad collision between a dirt bike and a flatbed truck at the intersection of Fort Point & Osborne in East Norwalk about an hour ago. I was driving directly behind two dirt bike drivers and saw the whole thing happen. It was very jarring and I feel horrible for the driver of the dirt bike and the driver of the truck. I immediately called 911 and left my name with the dispatcher. Has anyone heard how the dirt bike driver is? Praying that he's alive.

Hello, are there any Padel players in the area? My mother and I took a couple lessons over vacation and am looking to continue playing at home. I saw that pickleball USA has a court but the cost for an hour of play is 150 bucks. Are there any courts that are open to the public or cost less? I’m willing to drive around. Also would love to play with some locals. Thanks

i don’t want anything crazy but i reallyyyy want cool fox tips w/ layers possibly w a popping color. but anything i see when i look up stylists is just the same blonde balayage over and over again lol. also suggestions for anyone who doesn’t cost too much will be really appreciated, like i said i want smth thats considered more “alt” but dont want to pay like $300 for what’s considered a dye job but isnt really anything too out there

The Haven the new restaurant/ lounge on Main St in SONO is operating as an open air night club on the weekends when they don't have the permits for it. And man they have a terrible dj. He blasts shitty music from the early 2000's thinking he needs a giant subwoofer for it, and gets on the mic thinking he's funk master flex and shouts, you can hear it from down the block. I live 2 blocks away and I can hear it in my apt. I've heard other people from other buildings complain about it too. One neighbor with kids said her toddlers crib shakes in her apt from the subwoofer and now she has to move because of the noise and spend a bunch of money. I feel bad for her. Other than that the place is good, nice roof and good food, but they really shouldn't be operating as a nightclub when their roof is on a comically low floor. Thoughts?

EDIT:
Also, the issue is they start the dj at 10pm on weekends and it gets increasingly louder until 2 AM. One of my neighbors works as a professional in audio and measured the decibel level in their apt and it was 76- 80db with the windows closed. So prob over 100db coming from The Haven.

I know there have been noise complaints to the Norwalk Police Dept. But from what I know they go over tell them to turn it down, they do for 5 mins and blast it again. Also I've heard the dj scream on the mic "the neighbors are haters" prob because there was a complaint. So they have zero respect for the people living in the neighborhood.

Also, if you've ever been there it makes no sense that the dj is facing directly towards the streets where apts are, the place is huge, put him in the back or move the party indoors with the dj, they have a huge, open, unused space on the first floor. Theres no logic to what they're doing now.
