This fantastic museum is posted on a hill enclosed in parkland, in a mansion that was bequeathed to the city by the textile magnate Robert M. Bruce (1822-1908). He donated the property on the condition that it be turned into a museum when he passed away. The Bruce Museum mixes natural history and art, with wonderfully curated exhibitions. These cov...
The north-south backbone of downtown Greenwich is on the National Register of Historic Places. The cityscape is furnished with Italianate, Georgian Revival and Commercial-style buildings. These were raised over the course of a few decades from the late-19th century to immediately after World War I. As a pedestrian you can take a leisurely wander, a...
When it opened in 1943 this was the National Audubon Society’s first environmental education society in the United States. The Audubon Center was unique at the time, not just in the way it protected nature from human intrusion; It helped people interpret and learn about the natural world at close quarters. The Audubon Center takes care of seven dif...
An exciting piece of American cultural history, this sweet clapboard house was the heart of the Cos Cob Art Colony at the turn of the 20th century when it served as a boarding house. The colony was born around 1889 when John Henry Twachtman settled in Greenwich. He was followed by many other prominent Impressionists, including Theodore Robinson, J....
The pick of Greenwich’s four beaches is on a peninsula poking out into Long Island Sound. It’s a popular place for locals and visitors (for a fee) to spend a day in the sun in summer. The beach is watched by lifeguards all summer, and along with changing rooms and showers there are two snack bars just behind. The beach is part of a 150-acre park, e...
June through mid-September you can head down to the ferry dock off Arch Street to catch a boat to one of Greenwich’s islands in Long Island Sound. These run hourly or half-hourly, and as you’d expect there are more services on weekends. Great Captain Island is the better served of the two destinations and has an impressive granite lighthouse dating...
If you’re like me and want to know exactly where your fish and seafood comes from, Fjord Fish Market will be right up your street. This business is a local chain, with several locations in Connecticut. There’s a superb selection of premium, responsibly sourced cod, scallops, oysters, lobster, salmon, shrimp and a lot more besides. You can also pick...
Going strong for some 40 years, Diane’s Books is a local bookshop with the dimensions of a public library. The shop claims to have the largest selection of family books in the United States. I was impressed with the friendly staff happy to answer questions and point me in the right direction. If you’re just visiting Greenwich you can arrange to hav...
You know a place is posh when it has its own polo club. Greenwich’s was established in 1981, and all through the summer stages high-goal matches for the public. The field is in Connecticut’s green countryside and is held as one of the world’s leading high-goal venues (one of only three of its kind in the United States). The club is home to the Whit...
A public park in more than 100 acres of lush forest, the Montgomery Pinetum was once the estate of the businessman Colonel Robert Montgomery. He started planting rare conifers on his land in the first half of the 20th century. The woodland is streaked with trails past magnificent mature trees. I love the wealth of specimen plants and wildflowers th...
- Shop on Greenwich Avenue. When in Greenwich, shop. That's what the high-class locals do, so why not join in? Greenwich Avenue is the town's answer to a main or high street.
- Enjoy the Beach at Greenwich Point Park. A beautiful 147-acre park set on the tip of a peninsula jutting into the Long Island Sound, this exclusive spot can be a bit tricky to visit.
- Tour the Bush-Holley House at Greenwich Historical Society. A hidden gem sitting just shy of the busy I-95 in the Cos Cob neighborhood, The Greenwich Historical Society is more than worthy of a visit.
- Get Educated at the Bruce Museum. Currently, the Bruce Museum is housed in a one-story, well-laid out building across from Bruce Park. Featuring a variety of changing exhibits, the museum always offers something new to entice visitors to stop by.
