PURE GOLD
Welcome to our always highly anticipated Best of the Gold Coast issue, where we celebrate all things new, as well as tried-and-true, in our community and surrounding towns. Every year, we celebrate the results of our online poll, where we ask you, our readers, for your favorite restaurants, nightlife hotspots, boutiques and more.
As usual your enthusiasm was amazing. This year you cast nearly 100,000 votes in 170 categories. Your insights shaped this issue. We couldn’t have done it without you.
What better time than smack in the middle of summer, when our towns are buzzing, to honor the businesses that set the standard for excellence? There are the fab dining experiences—from farm-to-table treasures to international flavors that take you to far-off lands; the many options for retail therapy where impeccable style, craftsmanship and personalized service are the name of the game; and the top-notch fitness studios, spas and
wellness retreats that pamper and rejuvenate the mind, body and soul.
The mix of beloved classics and exciting newcomers hail from every corner of the Gold Coast—from Greenwich to Westport. And while we know you’re ready to hop in the car and head up 95 to grab an amazing burger or visit a hot new boutique, we thought you’d also want to know who topped the charts within our town. We’ve got you. Best of Greenwich presents the winners that captured our hearts right here in our own backyard (see page 84 for the full scoop).
Speaking of scoops, I’d like to give a special shoutout to our ice cream-wielding model, Jones Glenn. I’ve known Jones since she was born. It’s so special—and a little surreal—that the baby I held in the hospital eleven years ago now graces our cover. Suffice it to say, she’s my pick for Best Cover Girl.

“. . .I’d been conversing all that time with a nude man and didn’t know it.”
OF SLEEPOVERS ON SAILBOATS
There’s something very special about sleepovers on sailboats—lying there in your bunk, securely at anchor, gently rocking on the water, listening to the tinkle of the shrouds tapping against the mast, the moan of a distant foghorn. The world is at peace— even the seagulls.
But it isn’t always that way. There are things like mosquitos, downpours and the grinding of the water pump when somebody gets thirsty in the night. Plus, the unexpected.
On one Block Island Race Week Barbara King and I got scant shuteye in the bow of the Kings’ 36-foot sloop Andale. She was tied to the dock—the first in a raft of five, with the fifth boat hosting a raucous all-nighter. That meant all the party-lovers coming and going stomped across the deck right over our heads. Meanwhile, our four heroes in the main cabin, fueled by Mount Gay, lay flat on their backs, snoring up a cacophony fit for Guinness World Records.
Then there was the New York Yacht Club Cruise out of Newport one steamy August. We were on Newbold Smith’s Reindeer just back from sailing closer to the North Pole since Eric the Red and still heretically sealed. Man, was it ever hot below. What’s more, I was assigned an upper bunk in the main cabin that was so shallow I couldn’t roll over. I had to slide out of it sideways and, without stepping on the head of the guy on the bunk below, slide back into it sunny-side-up or down.
Another time we were docked in Northeast Harbor, Maine, and in the middle of the night Joe (name changed), full of schnapps, decided to take the boat for a sail, climbed into the cockpit and turned on the engine. The skipper shot out of his bunk and ordered him back to
bed. Then Joe decided to go fishing. I heard him on deck, and in loud whispers from my distant berth in the fo’c’sle talked him down the ladder, and he collapsed on a bottom bunk. But at breakfast time when his wife told him to get up because we needed to sit there, he didn’t have any pants on. His pajama bottoms had gotten wet, and he’d left them on the dock. Hopelessly myopic without my glasses, I’d been conversing all that time with a nude man and didn’t know it.
Then we borrowed Bill King’s new boat Greyling for a cruise up the Sound with Tommye and Jack Toner as crew. First stop: Mattituck—a beautiful harbor in Long Island. Peaceful, that is until midnight, when my Jack was shaken awake by Mr. Toner asking: “Skipper, Skipper, should we be surrounded by grass?!” We were aground at dead high tide. We sat on the rail in our nightshirts trying to level the boat, but finally it was tilting over so far that you couldn’t lie down (you’d roll out of your bunk) and couldn’t sit on the horizontal head.
By 5:30 a.m. we were knocking on the door of the nearest house, which was opened by a retired Navy captain in his bathrobe booming, “Well, what do you know? The first of the season!” He and his wife cooked us pancakes then brought their folding chairs down to the beach so they could chat with us back on board while a work boat pulled us out of the mud.
We made a pact to keep all this a secret. But when we got home and Captain King asked Jack where we’d gone on the cruise, he said: “Well, first stop was Mattituck.” “Mattituck!”
Bill replied. “I’ve never gone in there. Afraid I’d get hung up in the weeds!” Yup.
Hmm. Sometimes dry land looks pretty good. Sometimes not. But then, what’s life without adventures? G

How NBC Sports delivers gold-worthy SUMMER OLYMPIC coverage from Stamford to the world
by beth cooney fitzpatrick
The team at NBC Sports headquarters in Stamford is gameday ready.
Sixty-five cargo containers packed with gear for the 600 reporters, anchors, producers and camera crews heading to Paris to cover the Summer Olympic Games were dispatched across the Atlantic months ago.
In Paris, the Café de L’homme, with its breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower, has been transformed from a scenic tourist dining spot, into a temporary homebase for some of the staffers who will helm Olympic coverage that starts Friday, July 26.
Back in Stamford, the iconic Olympic rings and a scaled-down replica of the Eiffel Tower adorn the entrance to the cavernous 300,000-square-foot NBC Sports complex on Blachley Road. There are Paris-themed throw pillows scattered on chairs in the lobby of the behemoth $100 million broadcasting facility based in what was once the headquarters of hair color giant Clairol. Further inside, 28 hut-style broadcast booths, some borrowed from the set of “Saturday Night Live,” are lined up end-to-end in neat rows. They will host a who’s who of athletes-turnedannouncers and veteran NBC
A control room inside NBC Sports (below) on Blachley Road is as much at the center of it all during the summer Olympics as Paris itself.
Sports talent, calling events happening an ocean—and several time zones—away.
Food trucks are booked and thousands of gallons of coffee ordered to caffeinate the estimated 2,000 people who will converge on the 33 acres in Stamford’s East Side that has been NBC Sports home since 2012.
For, while Paris may be the leading lady of this Summer Games, her hard-at-work supporting cast will take their places here in the city. Every Olympic moment broadcast to US audiences will pass through the Stamford campus.
“Our broadcast center is incredibly versatile. We can do play-by-play and analysis for our major events, and we’ve got all of our studio shows here. We have the flexibility and capability to bring top-notch storytelling and reporting to the masses, all under one roof in Stamford,” says Westport resident and Golf Channel host Damon Hack who will be one of the few in Paris manning afternoon coverage for his third Olympic assignment.
“For the entirety of the Olympics, the building will be buzzing.”
For more than two years Molly Solomon, the executive producer and president of NBC Olympic Production, and her team have trained for this. They’ve worked with the goal of producing round-the-clock Olympic coverage so seamless that—if all goes to carefully calculated plans—viewers won’t even notice that many of the key broadcast players will not be joining lead primetime anchor Mike Tirico near the base of the Eiffel Tower (or, at least not joining him in person).
“We’re ready,” says Solomon, as she takes a break in her Stamford office in mid-May. “With all this planning, it gets to the point
where you say, “Let’s go do this.”
Of course, “ready” comes with the caveats inherent to the unpredictable nature of live television. Because, as much as they’ve planned for this moment, there are some things Solomon and the team of producers,
from more than 200 nations. What could go wrong? “Oh, you name it,” laughs Ridgefield resident Darryl Jefferson, NBC Sports and Olympics senior vice president, engineering and technology.
But when it comes to this

Take the weather. There’s no control room knob that will allow producers to manipulate the forecast along the River Seine on July 26 at 7:30 p.m.
At that moment, the Opening Ceremonies is expected to begin, featuring a flotilla of 100 boats carrying the athletic delegations
first-of-its-kind Parisian Opening Ceremony, Jefferson says he’s thinking most about the 70 camera lenses NBC Sports crews will have fixed along the scenic waterway. Rain and wind could wreak havoc on plans to capture what should otherwise be a majestic moment from one of the most photogenic cities in the world. The goal is to
“The Covid-19 epidemic expedited so much, and really taught us how to do things in one place when they’re happening in another,” says Amy Rosenfeld, NBC Sports senior vice president of Olympic Production. “As much as we all might like to be in Paris, we’ve learned it isn’t necessary and that Stamford can and will be the hub and heart of the coverage.”
High-speed transcontinental technology, in this case 40,000 miles of cable transversing the Atlantic (which end-to-end is almost enough to wrap the earth twice), along with the wonders of broadcast special effects have made it possible for NBC Sports anchors and play-by-play analysts to cover live events from a series of side-by-side soundproofed booths, so modestly appointed they could pass for backyard storage sheds. Producers sit in adjoining booths with sliding windows, making it possible for them to pop their heads in (literally) to chat with their talent teams.
Dan Hicks, the Greenwich resident and veteran NBC Sports and Golf Channel anchor, will be based in Paris to cover Olympic swimming events, but notes the technological resources in Stamford means audiences don’t even notice when he’s calling a golf tournament from headquarters. “We’ve gotten so good that during the 2021 Open Championship, I had my friends and family watching and say, ‘How is Royal St. Georges?

While an estimated 600 employees walk through the network’s doors on a typical weekday, the daily census will more than triple throughout the Games.
“All of these people need to eat and sleep,” says Rosenfeld. To accommodate them, hotels throughout Fairfield County and beyond are booked to capacity, with careful consideration given to the sleep needs of shift workers. “We try to keep crews together based on schedules, so if folks are sleeping during the day and working all night, the other half of the hotel isn’t
looks great.’ And I had to say, ‘I’m actually not there, I’m calling it from Stamford.’ ”
During the 2012 games in London, Jefferson was part of a team of 3,000 NBC Sports employees dispatched to the United Kingdom. Now, he notes, a relatively sparse 600 will travel to Paris, while 2,000 will report to work in Stamford.
“What being here does is save us the cost and expense of building an entirely new broadcast facility in Paris that we really don’t need,” Solomon says. “We’re sending the reporters, the anchors, the cameramen who really need to be at the venues. The rest we can do here.”
To get its talent and production capacity Olympics ready, Jefferson said the team began working immediately after the conclusion of the Beijing Winter Games on preparations for this summer’s 17 days of coverage showcasing 329 different medal
Rosenfeld estimates this round-theclock workforce will consume 100,000 meals and down some 13,500 cups of coffee, along with a hefty side of stress.
Naturally, city officials are bullish on what this temporary influx of personnel means for its business community, particularly hotels and restaurants.
A contingent of food trucks will be brought to campus to add options for workers logging extra-long shifts.
“One thing we’re really focused on for these games is thinking holistically about the human beings who do all this,” Rosenfeld says, noting time differences between Stamford and Paris will disrupt the circadian rhythms of even the best sleepers. So urgent care trailers, along with on-site therapists, camped at headquarters will be part of the effort to keep everyone in good physical and

events to be featured on multiple networks in the NBC family, including Peacock, USA, E!, the Golf Channel and CNBC.
That included growing NBC Sport’s digital network capacity from 50 to a whopping 220 gigs and adding new studios and control rooms in Stamford.
The team also held boot camps for new analysts and play-by-play announcers on the finer points of broadcasting live coverage from a remote base.
And the 65 previously mentioned cargo containers shipped from an NBC facility in Monroe, CT, to France containing pre-configured portable broadcast kits in pieces called “ribs”, were assembled and distributed to specific venues throughout the host country.
Another team and set of equipment was dispatched to Tahiti to capture Olympic surfers catching waves off the French Polynesia territory.
Telling the Story
“As much as we look forward to the excitement of the Olympics, the impact of having NBC Sports presence here in Stamford during the Games is a big moment for the city too, and one we’re proud of,” says Leah Kagan, Stamford’s director of economic development.
“You’ll see it particularly downtown, where we expect to see a real impact on the restaurants and the pedestrian traffic that comes from having a major event like this in the city. So, there’s a lot of interest in making sure their team gets a warm welcome and has a good experience here.”
While the digital age has made it possible to telecast an international sporting event from far-flung continents, it will also pose some real-world challenges for producers, who need to be ratings-minded and consider their audiences’ fleeting attention spans. “We’re completely cognizant of the fact that by the time an event makes it to primetime, the results will be on everyone’s devices,” says Rosenfeld.
The network has worked overtime to plan thoughtful coverage focused on telling stories within the stories, intended to take viewers beyond the finish lines and medals podiums.
“So, if Simone Biles, for example, does a vault that no one has done before, we want to tell the audience what goes into doing that vault, and what makes it such a monumental achievement,” says
Rosenfeld. “If a story or an athlete comes out of nowhere, we want to be able to tell that story, too.”
If that means tracking down a jubilant grandmother of a surprise medalist from the Midwest for some color commentary, Stamford, once again, becomes a better place to start than Paris.
This beyond-the-results thinking extends to the upcoming Paralympic Games, which begin August 28. The network is working to elevate the stories of American athletes competing there, while bringing more expert talent with physical challenges to the forefront, says Rosenfeld, “with plans to do even more when the Games come to Los Angeles.”
“We’ve come to think of covering the events as the easy part,” says Solomon. “The rest is what we have to do to bring the athlete’s stories to life.”

Molly Solomon began her NBC career as a researcher for its Emmy-winning coverage of the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona. Following eleven years as executive producer at the Golf Channel she came full circle in 2019 to take the helm of Games coverage as executive producer and president of NBC Olympic Productions. We sat down with the sometimes Harbor Point resident to discuss the behind-the-scenes efforts she leads to bring the quest for athletic gold to viewers.
You studied International Politics at Georgetown. It seems leading Olympic Games coverage might require its own kind of global diplomacy?
Molly Solomon: Very much so! When you think about it the Olympics really is this confluence of athletics, culture, geography, history but also international relations. There are 207 delegations coming to Paris. International rivalries in sports and world issues collide, even when you hope they won’t. We work so closely with the International Olympic Committee, so all of those things require a level of diplomacy, negotiation and a lot of cooperation.
What brought you to television sports?
MS: I always knew I wanted to work in sports journalism. When I went to college,
I wanted to study something else so I would have a different perspective and broaden my horizons. In print journalism and broadcast journalism in particular, everything is very much about practical experience. So I did a lot of internships to get that experience. And now I have been here 34 years, [having worked at] no other company.
What does it mean to have NBC Sports headquartered in Stamford?
MS: Stamford has really been so supportive of this headquarters since 2012. And it’s really been the perfect place because it’s just outside of the city, but close enough that many people coming here can visit New York. Our partners can come out here because everyone wants to see this facility. It’s
been such a great home for 12 years now.
Are you living here?
MS: I lived in Connecticut from 1996 to 2012. We were in Southport, but I had my triplets in 2003 at Stamford Hospital. So, Stamford is very, very special to me. I keep a place in Harbor Point now. I love this community.
How does Paris feature in your coverage?
MS: We consider the host city the co-star alongside the athletes. And [Paris] is the ultimate lead. Not only are we there to tell the story of the athletes, but also the story of the host city. Many times, [viewers] have not been able to experience [a place]. Paris is just so aspirational and inspirational. If you’ve been there, you’ll want to enjoy it again through our content, and if you haven’t been there, there is so much to see.
What have you learned from previous Olympics coverage that informed your plans for this one?
MS: There were some lessons from the Covid pandemic. In Tokyo in 2021 and in Beijing, six months later, because there were no
spectators in the stands, we sent out these camera crews to all these different living rooms in America to make sure that we had a family reaction. We really focused on the athlete’s stories. We’re thrilled that all the stands are going to be full of fans again, but not everybody gets to travel. There are people who are part of an athlete’s story—a grandmother, an elementary school coach, a lot of people who are incredibly meaningful to a competitor. And we will continue to be focused on bringing that element into our coverage. It really adds something.
It’s probably like asking you to pick a favorite child, but is there an event you are most looking forward to?
MS: That’s a tough one, but I think it’s the 100 meters. It’s 10 seconds and it’s everything. The quiet before the gun goes off—it’s just electrifying. I don’t think you can beat the drama and then, to be crowned the fastest person in the world, it’s amazing.
Editor’s note: Edited for length and clarity.
“Stamford has really been so supportive of this headquarters since 2012. And it’s really been the perfect place ... it’s been such a great home for 12 years now.”

NHow did you become linked with swimming?
Dan Hicks: After handling studio work for the Barcelona Games in 1992, I got a call from Dick Ebersol, the then chairman of NBC Olympics. He thought I’d be a good fit for swimming. I was incredibly excited because it was Atlanta in 1996. The anticipation is always big, but when it’s in the U.S., it’s even more amped up. I started working with Rowdy Gaines and got in his ear and asked him everything I could. The best way to immerse yourself is to ask the best that did it, like Rowdy, but he was also a seasoned broadcaster by then having done Barcelona. I leaned on him, and he carried me through ’96, and we hit it off as a team. We’re doing our eighth Olympics together. I’m lucky to work with someone who I think is the best Olympic analyst in broadcast history. I know
BC Sportscaster Dan Hicks is familiar to legions of golf and football fans for his coverage of major tournaments and college gridiron rivalries. Every four years, beginning with the 1996 Atlanta Games, he gets a poolside seat to cover Olympic swimming events. We checked in with the Greenwich resident for his insights on what to expect at this summer’s games.
those are heady words, but I will argue with anyone that he’s the best to have ever done it. He knows his x’s and o’s and the sport inside and out, but it’s the passion that sets Rowdy apart. One of my best pals in life.
There are races where the win comes down to the murky (at least to us) touch of a pool wall. How do you get it right?
DH: The number one rule— and it goes with any sport, especially in swimming— you can’t guess. We’ve got the best seat in the house. I can see all eight lanes and all swimmers coming to the wall. I can usually tell who’s going to win, but if you’re not sure—and we’ve had races end with a margin of one one-hundredth of a second and I can’t tell who’s going to win, like many of Michael Phelps races—you must wait until you see the electronic result and the timer. You have
to be careful; you have to be right, and you cannot guess.
Is there an athlete or event you’re particularly excited about covering this year? DH: Both men’s 200m and 400m individual medleys will likely showcase Leon Marchand, the French swimmer who trains in the U.S. He has an excellent chance to pick up four individual medals, but he can be challenged. It will be exciting. On the women’s side, a 200 IM final will likely have stars throughout featuring the U.S. and Australian swimmers. The U.S.-Aussie rivalry is slated to be bigger than it’s been because the Australian women will be very good. It will likely include the Aussies,
the U.S. and a teenage swimmer named Summer McIntosh from Canada. Of course, all eyes will be on Katie Ledecky, but she’ll have competition this time around.
Do you get time to enjoy Paris?
DH: The routine of the Olympics is ‘pool, hotel, rinse, repeat.’ The Games are a lot of fun, but they’re a lot of work and you’ve got to get dialed in. I don’t have a lot of time to enjoy the sights, but I think everyone is more excited about these Games just because it’s in Paris— a city that has an aura to it. I look forward to feeding off that.
Editor’s note: Edited for length and clarity.
Dan Hicks will go from Greenwich to Paris this summer to cover swimming with his ‘best pal’ Rowdy Gaines (below).

It would be a dream to be on the U.S. men’s basketball team. With one of the purest jump shots in Fairfield County, I know I could be an asset on what has become a free-flowing, high-offense sport— and what I lack in speed and youth, I make up for in experience and guile!
On the thing she’ll leave room for in her suitcase
I don’t think the U.S. Customs folks would be happy with me because I’d try to fit a few charcuterie boards in my luggage! You can’t beat the French cheeses, meats and breads. I’m pretty sure I’ll be living on those and croque monsieur during my time in France.

LIVING WELL
TWO RETAILERS WITH GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES AND SUSTAINABLE MINDSETS HAVE BROUGHT THEIR FURNISHINGS TO NEW SHOWROOMS TO OUR DOWNTOWN’S BURGEONING DESIGN DISTRICT
arhaus
The abrupt closure of the Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams store last September left a big vacancy on East Putnam Avenue, but upscale home furnishings retailer Arhaus stylishly filled the void in May with the opening of its third Connecticut showroom.
Here you will receive a warm welcome from the chic-meetscozy mix of dining rooms, bedrooms and living rooms that offer heirloom-quality
pieces mixed with earth-friendly comforts.
“As a design-minded community with a vibrant shopping scene, Greenwich was a natural fit for Arhaus,” says Ann O’Neil FitzGerald, Greenwich store manager.
The growing national chain, known for its global approach to sourcing sustainable materials and international artisans, produces its built-to-last furnishings in North Carolina.
“From the beginning of Arhaus, its founders vowed to
never use wood harvested from rainforests and to honor the Earth in everything they did,” explains FitzGerald. On the local front, the store’s grand opening communityminded initiative included an event with the Greenwich Tree Conservancy, which raised $10,000 to support the nonprofit’s local arbor preservation and restoration efforts.
The Greenwich team has also jumped into the design scene along East Putnam Avenue, hosting informal open houses with
Specializing in sustainable materials, Arhaus offers chic yet welcoming design options.
shop
neighboring retailers to create more synergy in the district, FitzGerald says.
Besides being communityminded, Arhaus’s green efforts include using responsibly harvested woods and recycled and repurposed materials whenever possible. The result is furnishings that have an approachable aesthetic that reads uniquely discovered, yet completely refined.
Take, for example, the reclining sofa outfitted with technology that allows you to recline in your media room with the touch of a discreetly-tucked-away button (goodbye, unsightly clunky levers), all while retaining the clean lines of a well-appointed and sublimely comfortable statement piece.
Coffee and dining tables— many of which boast those recycled materials Arhaus celebrates—are also standouts. These pieces could work well in modern, transitional and eclectic designscapes, making them a good option for a variety of tastes.
Arhaus also offers design services that can range from help with scoring the perfect piece to complete an existing room to top-to-bottom makeovers. Its handsome finishing touches, including fabrics and wallcoverings, are stars in their own right and make it possible for Arhaus to serve as a one-stop resource for many design projects.
“Our Beale, Kipton and Remington collections are customer favorites, all handcrafted by artisans in North Carolina,” says FitzGerald. “Stop by and take a seat to feel the quality and comfort firsthand.” arhaus.com

In 1924, Swedish chocolatier Efraim Ljung checked into a Chicago hotel and became so enamored with his ultra comfy bed, he discreetly used a pocketknife to slice open a small section of mattress to study its flexible boxsprings.
Ljung then made a deft pivot from candy to mattress-making.
Four generations later, Ljung’s furniture company, Duxiana, remains a Sweden-based family business. Last year, it brought its latest Greenwich retail outpost
Duxiana offers one-stop shopping for everything you need for a good night’s sleep.
“Please go ahead and jump on the beds. Every one of them feels great. we have always been about health, well-being, comfort and sustainability.”
—Ed Curry, president of Duxiana North America
to East Putnam Avenue, adjacent to the Farrow & Ball store. The new Duxiana showroom almost doubled the size of its former location of 20 years on West Putnam Avenue. The space has for room for several versions of Duxiana’s signature mattresses, as well as select pieces of its sleek
Scandinavian furniture, an offering that until recently was more familiar to European customers.
“Our Greenwich customers know us mainly for our mattresses. The bigger showroom allows us to share pieces that they haven’t seen before,” says Ed Curry, president of Duxiana North America.
Mattresses, of course, are still king and for good reason: Duxiana’s beds are known for superior construction and comforts so exceptional the line remains a mainstay at luxury hotels around the globe.
“Please go ahead and jump on the beds,” Curry says of the new showroom experience. “Every one of them feels great. We have always been about health, wellbeing, comfort and sustainability.”
Speaking of sustainability, Duxiana’s mattresses can be unzipped, so worn-out components can be easily replaced. “You get a brand-new feel and the peace of mind knowing your mattress isn’t going to the landfill,” says Curry.
Make a point to check out the luxe eiderdown bedding, and the uber-cool chairs designed exclusively for Duxiana by noted Swedish designer Bruno Matthson. One has such a futuristic vibe that it’s been christened the Jetson chair after the classic space-age cartoon. And it’s comfortable, too. Naturally. duxiana.com

Fifty Years and Growing
SELF-MADE MOGUL BILL RAVEIS CHARTS HIS OWN HISTORY, FROM A TINY OFFICE ATOP A GROCERY STORE TO MORE THAN $20 BILLION IN ANNUAL SALES FOR WILLIAM RAVEIS REALTY by carol
Two dozen William Raveis employees sip and mingle on the deck of their boss’s sprawling Greenfield Hill home in Fairfield. They’ve gathered for lunch in the founder's honor, thanking him for organizing the Raveis company’s 50th anniversary party at Mohegan Sun earlier this year. More than 1,500 real estate agents and employees showed up for the two-day bash, training by day and dancing by night, with 77-year-old Bill Raveis leading the conga line.
Here at Applewood, Raveis’ home, the real estate mogul leads a handful of guests through a living room and into his Revolutionary War room. Glass display cases highlight powder
horns with engraved scrimshaw. Rifles, pistols, muskets and spears adorn the walls, alongside bayonetes, spontoons, war clubs. Raveis lingers by portraits on parchment of the Founding Fathers.
“It’s amazing how this country began,” says Raveis, tanned and sockless, in jeans, sportcoat, crisp white shirt and leather loafers. “These people didn’t like the way they were being treated so they started their own company, took on the biggest power that existed and fought with everything they had. They were the greatest entrepreneurs in the world.”
After Raveis points out a few treasures—Paul Revere’s wallet; George Washington’s vest; a

blood-stained, 13-starred flag from Baltimore— the gathering disperses, most guests returning to William Raveis real estate, mortgage and insurance headquarters in Shelton. But half a dozen remain. They gather in Raveis’ sitting room, strategizing for another battle.
In March, the National Association of Realtors agreed in an antitrust suit to eliminate the 6% sales commission traditionally paid to agents selling a home. Historically, those agents shared that commission with a buyer’s agent. Soon, as agents lower fees to compete for business, buyers might be paying for an agent’s help.
“What everybody else does, I couldn’t care less,” says Raveis. He and his soldiers are planning a counteroffensive, which includes arming agents with materials for buyers touting his agents’ worth.
Raveis settles himself between his marketing director—Princeton-, Harvard- and Stanfordeducated Lisa Carpenter—and two Yorkshire terriers snoozing beside him in a baby carriage. He reviews new brochures and coos, “We’re the only ones who have this. Nobody else comes close.”
Raveis has spent a lifetime inventing, pivoting, reinventing. In 1974, he rented a 9-by7-foot room over a grocery store in downtown Fairfield and set out to launch his real estate empire. He was 27 years old, a married father of two and had just quit a tech job in New York City, dismayed by the attention lauded onto a hire from Harvard who had little interest in the Bridgeport-bred computer wiz but happily took credit for Raveis’ accomplishments. Raveis had barely made it through high school, willed and worked his way through college and hadn’t yet learned that severe dyslexia was what hampered his ability to see things as everyone else did. He credits dyslexia with forcing him to devise inventive strategies to master material.
When he opened up shop, Raveis had a desk, a phone and an office reachable by walking through a doctor’s office. What he didn’t have: experience selling houses. “I’m looking out the window talking to myself, saying ‘How am I going to build a business?’ Then I realize, if I hire an agent, they make money and I make money. They make more money and I make more money. If I help them make more money we all win.”
Raveis believed that an agent was his customer, not a buyer or seller, a mindset
unique to real estate companies at the time. Even so, “None of the big agents wanted to come over and be with me because I was some kid from Bridgeport.”
He knew what it meant to be an outsider and he hired five agents who, he believed, were ignored because they were female and Jewish. After he hiked their commissions and referral fees, the established guys who ran the local multiple listing services didn’t like it, Raveis says, and refused to list Raveis properties. They invited him to lunch one day to deliver a message. “They said, you can’t do this, you can’t do that. If you don’t go according to our rules, we’ll run you out of town. I said, ‘The heck with you.’”
At this point in the conversation, Raveis reminisces about his upbringing, a favorite topic during interviews as well as in the two books he’s written. Raveis’ dad was a bricklayer,
and mom made lipstick in a factory. They encouraged their son to get what he wanted by rising to meet, rather than backing down from, a challenge; by working hard, by treating people kindly. Raveis vowed to treat his colleagues as family. Those five agents worked with Raveis for more than 20 years.
His little company has grown to 4,500 agents in 145 branches from Florida to Maine, boasting $20 billion in sales. The family-run firm (sons Ryan and Chris are company co-presidents) finances mortgages and sells insurance. Last year, industry analysts Inman awarded Raveis the Top Brokerage in the United States.
And the company continues to grow. When Raveis moved to Florida eight years ago, he mentioned to locals that he might like to hang a shingle there. “A guy from the No. 1 firm in Naples laughed. He said to me that no outsider has ever made it here,” Raveis recalls during an interview on Zoom. He’s calling from his house in Port Royal, where the average home costs $20 million and a current Raveis listing goes for $88 million. That guy didn’t know he was laying down a gauntlet. Today, Raveis says, “We’re the No. 1 firm here, and they’re No. 3.” G

HOWARD SAFFAN ’S
BEST CIRCUS TRICK YET: BRIDGEPORT’S HARTFORD HEALTHCARE AMPHITHEATER
by jill johnson mann
Howard Saffan has lived in Weston for 27 years but he reserves a generous wedge of his heart—and most of the hours in his day—for the nearby city of Bridgeport. Among his numerous business ventures, Saffan is the owner, developer and president of the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater in Bridgeport. Its canopy rose from the cloud of the Covid pandemic like an emblem of optimism— crowds would gather again, waves of song from the world’s greatest musicians would roll over them, wine and craft beer and premium liquor would flow, and the region’s best food vendors would sate any appetites not already full from the experience any seat of the 5,700 provides. Never mind taking in the acts on the ginormous stage (e.g., Sting, Foo Fighters, James Taylor)—just a dizzying look up at the state-of-the-art canopy roof is worth the price of a ticket. Saffan appreciates the history of Bridgeport, and the venue— visible from I-95—displays a penchant for showmanship and a circus motif. Bridgeport’s
Before the amphitheater, what were you doing?
I was running the NY Islanders and Bridgeport Sound Tigers and overseeing the Nassau Coliseum and the Webster Bank Arena. I also own Sports Center of Connecticut in Shelton. I have a real estate development company, and we own many commercial properties throughout Fairfield County.
How did you get involved with the amphitheater?
My office at the Webster Bank Arena overlooked the baseball field. This is where the Bridgeport Bluefish played. One day I was at Michael’s restaurant with Jimmy Koplik, the president of Live Nation CT. He said, “We’re thinking of building a boutique amphitheater in Danbury.”
I said, “Why there?” He said, “There’s nowhere else.” I called him the next day and said, “I have an idea.”
When did the amphitheater open?
July 2021. The opening concert was REO and Styx. Then Foo Fighters put us on the map. I’m not a music person whatsoever. I’m a sports guy. I leave that to Jimmy and Jeremy of Live Nation.
What are some highlights of this summer’s lineup?
We just had Neil Young. James Taylor, Tedeschi Trucks Band and Billy Strings are all coming back and requested two nights. We have Earth, Wind, and Fire and Chicago playing together. We have Cage the Elephant. There’s something for everyone.
What’s the most epic moment you have experienced at the amphitheater?
When the Foo Fighters came on-stage. I didn’t understand the gravity of having a band like that until the building exploded with a volume I’d never heard.
“Greatest Showman” and onetime mayor P.T. Barnum would approve. The goal was “a boutique amphitheater…designed to wow,” and wow it does. The design incorporates the ballpark vibe (the Bluefish used to play here); the dugouts are now bars.
An industrial bent melds with the city, complete with trains chugging past just behind the parking lot (tickets include parking; ease is another theme). Add marble bathrooms throughout, numerous premium suites, and a 27,000-square-foot, back-of-house luxury residence for the bands (complete with outdoor fireplace, massage room and chef), and it’s no surprise suites are mostly sold out and bands are clamoring to book multiple nights.
What inspired you?
I was fortunate to own a window and door company, Bishop Manufacturing, in Bridgeport. At a young age, I had the opportunity to sell it. This is my giveback to Bridgeport. I love Bridgeport. I believe in Bridgeport.
What was your dream as you began the project?
The dream was to host twenty concerts a year and be a significant community provider. We have done that and then some. This season we will have 50+ concerts and host fourteen graduations and two dozen community events.
Which concert or event are you most looking forward to this summer?
Pizza Fest on August 11! We will have over 40 pizza vendors as well as craft beer vendors.
What has been the most challenging aspect of this project?
Building the venue. The budget started at $18 million and ballooned to $50 million, due in part to my insatiable urge to create an experience for our customers. We have marble bathrooms, cupholders in each seat, a star suite, a who’s who of food trucks. There are even twinkle lights, a tribute to my dad, who used to take me to the San Gennaro Feast in Little Italy. G
500 Broad St, Bridgeport, CT hartfordhealthcareamp.com
Why did you settle in Weston?
I love Connecticut. I grew up on Long Island. After graduating from Brooklyn Law School, I swore I’d never move back to Long Island, and Connecticut was very special.

LEVEL-UP LIBATIONS
When we eat out, we expect to be delighted by the food and ambience, to taste something we can’t get at home. At Moli, the cocktails from bar director Julio Enriquez are an equally dazzling highlight of the experience. A master of his craft with 20 years of experience, mostly at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, he loves to create and experiment with seasonal and local ingredients. Because of this, the cocktail and drinks menu is updated regularly. He puts the same degree of preparation and nuance into the beverages that chefs put into their dishes. Julio, who is also the founder of Good Booch kombucha, shared advice on drinks to try as well as tips for mixing things up for home entertaining.
SCRIPT A KILLER COCKTAIL
“Look at it like food. You’re trying to reach all the senses,” Julio explains, noting that a good drink should be an experience with a beginning, middle and end. For instance, the opener could be aromatic, the middle might be sweet or sour along with the taste of a spirit, and the end could have a bitter component that lingers. One of his favorite drinks on the current menu is the Umeshu. The cocktail is a variation on a Manhattan that blends Beeswax Washed Iwai 45 Japanese Whiskey, Japanese sweet vermouth, plum wine, Luxardo maraschino, and saffron bitters with an ume jelly garnish. Umesha’s opening notes are saffron and citrus pee. Then you taste the waxy character of the beeswax into the light sweetness of the vermouth and then finish of a bit bitter.

PLAY WITH FLAVORS
Julio and his team often incorporate vegetables and unusual combinations in their cocktails and mocktails. A few ingredients he is partial to include mushrooms and badgerflame beets. “I like to push the boundaries of what is expected to be in a drink,” he says, mentioning a charred pineapple and parmesan cheese daquiri that he once concocted. It sounds odd, but “the moment you sip it, you see that it does work.” Another creative libation he can’t get enough of right now is the Dirty Diana, which is a cross between a mezcal margarita and a dirty martini with shiso.
RESTOCK YOUR BARWARE
Presentation is key at the restaurant and at home. The trends now are toward coupe glasses (they have dethroned the traditional V-shaped martini glasses) and what’s known as Nick and Nora glasses, which are bell-shaped and like small wine glasses. Julio suggests pouring champagne in a coupe rather than a classic flute.
ELEVATE YOUR ICE
Opt for the big-block cubes; you can buy trays on Amazon. If you want to make “clear” ice, they sell miniature coolers that clarify and filter ice. Julio suggests snipping mint, lemon balm or rosemary from the garden and putting it in the ice to liven up an Aperol Spritz and other drinks.
PLAY TO THE CROWD
If you’re having more than 20 guests, it’s a good idea to prebatch a drink. Pick a recipe you like and feel confident about. For margaritas, be sure to whiz them in the blender before serving. G

Help Is Here
Riverside Yacht Club was a vision in red and white (and a little blue) for the annual American Red Cross, Metro New York North Chapter Red & White Ball. The evening honored Lieutenant General Steven W. Gilland, Greenwich Police Chief James J. Heavey and philanthropist Suzanne Packer. Cochairs Connie Anne Harris and Lauren Walsh put together such a beautiful and seamless party. The guests were dancing all night long, raising more than $900,000. redcross.org »

The Alzheimer’s Association Connecticut Chapter recently held its eleventh annual Celebrating Hope gala at the Delamar Greenwich Harbor. The event was cochaired by Greenwich residents Tim and Kelly Helstein. Sadly, there are 80,000 people living with Alzheimer’s in Connecticut—a number expected to reach 91,000 by next year. This important event helps the Alzheimer’s Association Connecticut Chapter educate and empower those with dementia and their caregivers, as well as fuel critical research toward additional treatments and effective ways to manage this disease. alz.org »

This year the keynote speaker, Dr. Frances Jensen, renowned neuroscientist and author, gave guests insight into her fascinating book The Teenage Brain.

Le Poisson, formerly La Cremaillere, recently hosted a cocktail party to celebrate its grand opening. The fine dining restaurant led by chef and managing partner Thomas Burke updated the interior and launched a new seafood-forward menu inspired by the coastal regions of France. Along with the introduction of the rebrand, the staff showed off the new bar and lounge, Petit Salon, which offers signature cocktails and light bites. Recently the Michelin Guide recognized Chef Burke’s talents siting his “clear reverence for ingredients.”

WILLIAM RAVEIS REAL ESTATE / Mohegan Sun
Fifty & Fabulous
It was a two-day affair when the team from William Raveis Real Estate celebrated 50 years of luxury style at Mohegan Sun. This family-owned company is rich with history. In 1974 Bill Raveis opened his doors to one room above a grocery store in Fairfield with a desk, phone, MLS book and $2,000 loan. Half a century later, Bill’s vision for the company continues to focus on a passion for delivering extraordinary service to customers in the real estate, mortgage and insurance industries. raveis.com G

Best Service // TONY’S AT THE J HOUSE
It’s no surpise that the restaurant known for its namesake founder’s (above) penchant for making the rounds to personally greet guests—whether newly arrived NYC transplants or boldfaced named celebs— would get the attention of our readers who voted Tony’s at the J House this year’s Best Service winner. The entrance sign reads “Right this way, my friend” and is the welcoming mantra reflected through every detail of the always-popular steakhouse that is so much more than just a steakhouse.
Best Hotel Restaurant + Private Dining/Intimate Venue + Special Occasion/Date Night // TAVERN AT GRAYBARNS
By clinching both Intimate Venue and Date Night, it seems like perennial favorite Tavern at GrayBarns might be this year’s choice for romantic evenings out. Local ingredients star on hyperlocal (he’s a lifelong Fairfield County resident) Chef Joseph Wabshinak’s New American menu. For truly special occasions take full advantage of the transported-to-the-countryside vibe and book an overnight in the Inn. There, the Glazer family (Marsha and daughter Nikki above) welcomes you to the property they’ve owned since 2017. Their discerning redesign transformed the old Silvermine Tavern into the epitome of quiet luxury, all warmth and refinement.

Best New Restaurant // THE BENJAMIN
This Ridgefield newcomer has been welcoming a steady stream of diners from all over Fairfield and Westchester counties since it opened in June 2023. Named for Benjamin Franklin with a wink at his role as the first ambassador to France, the restaurant reflects that transatlantic connection in its approach. The little gem Caesar salad (above) and roasted half chicken (below) are top reader choices from the tightly curated, seasonal menu. Executive Chef (and serendipitiously monikered) Benjamin Traver joined from NYC’s The Modern and Cafe Boulud, while Pastry Chef Melissa Knauer hails from Litchfield bakery fave Arethusa a Mano.

Japanese // SAKURA
Readers’ Picks
Our readers say arigato to Sakura, the Westport staple, for offering up both kid-friendly hibachi and a more elevated dining experience that parents look forward to. Dining options range from sushi to hibachi, from sukiyaki to shabu shabu. There’s also an array of options to park yourself for the night from belly up to the bar (sushi or otherwise) to outdoors on the patio, from the main dining room to more intimate tatami rooms. Few area restaurants have the staying power of this Japanese standout, in business since 1982. On the occasion of its opening the New York Times called it “winning.”
More than 40 years later, we still agree.
Best Bagels // POPUP BAGELS
From the Gold Coast to the West Coast, PopUp Bagels keeps on, well, popping up. While we were all messing around with sourdough starter kits during the pandemic, Adam Goldberg (left) was busy perfecting a new recipe and sharing his crispy-on-the-ouside, soft-on-the-inside bagels with friends from his backyard in Westport. A few short years later, the homegrown carb-heaven company keeps on growing from its flash sale and coveted subscriptions roots to include permanent walk-in locations and a nationwide following. Purists delight in the no-novelty philosophy (nary a rainbow nor blueberry—or even a sliced—bagel in the bunch.) They make the most exquisite vehicle for schmears. Scallion and plain cream cheese are always on offer alongside rotating flavors, including dill pickle and cheeseball, as well as butters like like chimichurri and hot honey.
Asian/Asian Fusion + Bowls + Noodle Bar/Noodles
// MECHA NOODLE BAR
Winning Best Asian Fusion is your sign to go beyond steaming bowls of pho and ramen and explore the rest of the menu at youthful chainlet Mecha Noodle Bar.
Edamame is seasoned with garlic confit, rosemary, sage and sea salt. Pork and shrimp dumplings in spicy red chili oil are a top order, but we’re also suckers for the roasted mushroom dumplings. Of course, no one is disputing Mecha’s noodle-primacy.
Beef Noodle is a bowl of brothless rice noodles tossed to perfection in a sweet, umami-rich sauce that gets raves.
Best Hot Dogs // SUPER DUPER WEENIE
Being deep into baseball season brings to mind the staple ballpark handheld—a sizzling frank on a bun. This summer we’ll skip the sweltering heat and steep ticket price at Yankee stadium thank you very much and enjoy a top-notch split-and-grilled Super Duper Weenie instead. And for the laziest of dog days this season, when even an I-95 drive just up to Fairfield seems too much to bear, we’ll gather the neighbors and bring the savory treats to us in one of SDW’s on-the-go food trucks. The housemade relishes are a tightly guarded secret and nearly steal the show in the reader favorite “New Englander” topped with sauerkraut, bacon, mustard and fresh chopped onion. Over the years the menu expanded to include not just fresh cut fries but also sausage and steak sandwiches, chicken nuggets and more.
Best Ice Cream // SUNNY DAES
With six locations across the Gold Coast, it’s no wonder that Sunny Daes has fans acoss the County voting enthusiastically “thumbs up” for the family-owned joint’s homemade cool treats. Sergio Keskin opened the first Sunny Daes in 1999 in Stamford’s Shippan neighborhood. Since then the iconic, cheery pink-and-green shop has expanded to include outposts in Fairfield, Trumbull, Westport and its newest location in Norwalk in 2023. Toddlers enjoy the multitude of flavors and toppings as much as climbing aboard the friendly cows while big kids make it a must-stop on baseball Saturdays and soccer Sundays. The shop offers a wide variety of flavors of ice cream, froyo and gelatos in cups and cones and other frozen treats like ice cream sandwiches, cakes and shakes. And, of course, sundaes like its playful name indicates. Seasonal offerings have included summer sorbets like pomegranate with fresh fruit, pumpkin ice cream for fall, eggnog for winter.

PICK
Darien + Rowayton editor Eileen Murphy shares her ode to Aux Délices
for the perfect accompaniment to our readers’ top pick for best salads—Aux Délices savory quiches, which are delicious and substantial. Stop in for a premade fave or call ahead for a custom pick. Summer lunches, solved.
and sandwiches packed and ready keep the bell on an Aux Délices shop door ringing all day. And on a busy night there might not be something I appreciate more than the many grab-and-go options on offer. The chicken salad sandwich and Bam Bam Chicken are on heavy rotation at our house as of late.
I can remember Aux Délices hosts uber-popular kids cooking classes on Sunday afternoons and summer camps in their Stamford kitchen. Grownups can sharpen their skills too at private group outings perfect for showers or corporate get-togethers.
Brunch + Cafe/Bistro // TERRAIN CAFE
Is there a Fairfield County spot that embraces and celebrates Mother Nature in its warm, elevated design quite like Terrain Cafe? We don’t think so. And neither do our readers. The dining-in-a-greenhouse vibe pervades everything here, from the leafy green (but actually) decor to the, of course, seasonally inpired menu that reflects what’s ripe from local farmers. We’re loving brunch standouts like the foodie-heaven brioche French toast with rum-soaked stone fruit and vanilla maple mascarpone sauce (above) and the sweet figgy-jammy grilled gruyere with apple and basil on sourdough.
Best Coffee Shop // COFFEE FOR GOOD
A place to get a perfect cup of joe and also support a worthy mission? Sign us up. Greenwich’s Coffee for Good is both an inviting gathering place with top java and a training ground for locals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In summer we’re all about the chilled caffeinated goodness of a cold brew or a sweet strawberry smoothie. We take ours to go with a muffin or scone. The shop offers our readers’ choice of favorite housewarming gifts—beans with name nods to spots around town like Greenwich Avenue Zest and Mianus Morning Dew.

Best Vegetarian // THE LIME
Best Bakery
// WAVE HILL BREADS
Given how sought-after bread from Wave Hill is from Brooklyn to Litchfield to Madison and back, we’re so happy to claim the master baker as our own Gold Coast gem. Owners Angela and Tim Topi know slow food is the best food and apply that know-how to everything they do. It all adds up to lighter, more flavorful, easyon-the-belly breads that will make you feel like you’re in France, bite by bite. Build the perfect sandwich with any of the pan loaf choices ranging from brioche to rye or pick up a pizza romana (in summertime our readers are partial to the zucchini and lemon) and call it a night. And a Best of the Gold Coast bakery doesn’t just win on bread alone. Wave Hill’s attention to every yummy detail extends to its perfectly curated pastry selection as well as cookies, scones and muffins.
Way ahead of the natural foods trend, the no-frills Norwalk mainstay has been serving up standout whole food dishes since 1979. The lengthy menu features plenty of vegetarian and vegan alternatives to the typical salad options offered at other spots that feature “V” prominently. Tofu croquettes baked in Thai orange sauce will make you rethink your opinion of bean curd. Meanwhile zucchini loaf made with carrots, sesame and sunflower seeds, cheddar cheese and tahini feels like a secret superfood. There’s plenty of seating at tables with checkerboard tablecloths inside but don’t sleep on the delivery option, which is surprisingly quick across towns. So, the next time you’re scrambling for a family meal and don’t want to feed kids yet another slice of greasy pizza, squeeze all the juice out of the Lime.

Best Caterer // MARCIA SELDEN CATERING & EVENTS
Forget the flowers, the band or the theme, according to our readers, an event isn’t a Best of Gold Coast event unless it’s a Marcia Selden event. The namesake matriarch of the more-than-four-decades-young catering biz makes every affair a family affair leading her team alongside son Jeffrey and daughter Robin (above). Selden’s origin story sounds almost like it began as a dare. Decades ago, when asked if she knew a good caterer for a small wedding, the then-jewelry designer harnessed her culinary and entertaining twin passions to take on the party herself. The rest is the stuff of local history. A record of the who’s who and what happened when throughout Fairfield County could be told through the dishes she’s served at the very best parties up and down the Gold Coast. This summer, win big with Tic Tac Toe Crudo (above) and get guests smiling with bite-sized lobster rolls and chips (below.)

And for those who’ve never met a calorie they don’t like, there are nine deliciously decadent burgers to choose from and mac ’n’ cheese options you never knew you needed. And, of course, everything in between.

JAMON Y QUESO
trip to actual Barcelona, one thing united our diverse family group: ham and cheese, please. Now, whenever we’re at an impasse stateside a table at Barcelona and order an embarrassing amount of cured and aged savory goodness. There’s nearly two dozen on the menu and I’m here to say every single one deserves a try.
for dinner, we book
wine list features is Adios Vinos, a farewell tour to some vintage gems that for one reason or another can’t be replaced with new cases. The rotating, limited list is offered at half price.
Nothing transports
me back to Catalonia quite like clocking out early and savoring al fresco snacks during Barcelona’s 4 p.m – 6 p.m. happy hour. I’m a sucker for the Marcona almonds and steak tartare paired with an Estrella Galicia.
Best Seafood Market // FJORD
True story: The lobster loving teenage daughter of one of our editors recently stumbled upon the knowledge of subpar standards that pervade most of the seafood industry. “I’m done,” she declared. Enter Fjord Fish Market, the retail post so trusted to responsibly source seafood that they won over not just our readers but also perhaps a tougher crowd—the skeptical teen. Integrity and quality are the names of the game here. And with multiple Gold Coast locations and online ordering too, the only way to ensure a fresher catch is to drop a line yourself.

Best Martinis + Steaks // WASHINGTON PRIME
Peanut butter and jelly. Bacon and eggs. There’s no arguing with food duos so perfect they’re iconic. Our savvy readers paired two Bests—Martinis and Steaks—from Washington Prime because, when in the resto’s capable hands, the two are similarly tops. We take their signature ’tini hot ’n’ dirty stye (bird’s eye chile stuffed olive and brine) with a New York strip. How about you?
Best Mobile Bar // BAKED AND SAUCED
Is there anything cuter and more Insta-worthy than a vintage Airstream pulled up to your next party? Probably not. Since 2015, Baked and Sauced has served booze and baked goods to thousands of guests up and down the Gold Coast, and our readers have taken notice. Book “Annie”, a 22-foot-long 1968 Safari, or “Rosie”, a 20-foot-long Globetrotter for your next shower/wedding/birthday celebration and cue the smiles. For summer celebrations we like to have a big batch of the watermelon tequila punch on hand and in colder climes we’re hooked on the bourbon apple cider. It’s impossible not to love the desserts, too. Both “sauced” (with alcohol) and “unsauced” (without) cupcakes and push pops are so mouthwatering it’s hard to choose what to serve. Right this minute we’re partial to the Elvis, an unsauced banana cake with peanut butter frosting topped with bacon and Strawberry Bubbly, a sauced Champagne cake with strawberry buttercream. Let the good times roll!

SPORT SHOP
Perhaps chief among the many reasons we love Darien Sport Shop is for the place it holds in our hearts as top sartorial problem solver.
How many Gold Coast residents have found themselves just hours from an event despairing at the choices staring back from a well-worn closet?
A quick trip to the Post Road mainstay is all that's needed to look on trend and feel ready to party.
Eileen Murphy, editor of New Canaan, Darien + Rowayton magazine, calls it the “go-to shop for everything—the GOAT of downtown.” Our readers agree.

PICK
Wilton magazine editor Samantha Yanks speaks luxe by way of Mitchells and Richards
Westport and Greenwich shops are all about me picking up things I need, and some things I don’t need but definitely crave, like a bauble from their high-octane jewelry cases filled with pieces from covetable local designers like Genevieve Lau and James Banks.
like special seasonal looks,
home delivery and an unparalleled team are just three reasons they are my first-stop destinations for high style.
Best Eyewear // WARBY PARKER
Warby Parker launched as an online-only biz 14 years ago to redress one problem—glasses are too expensive. Since then the place for peepers has expanded to more than 200 brick-and-mortars nationwide. How lucky are we that three call the Gold Coast home? The latest outpost in Darien Commons joins favorites on Greenwich Avenue and at the Sono Collection in offering approachable high style at reasonable price points. New from the Trace Series “Florian” and “Beauford” (above), along with best-sellers “Lorena” and “Durand” have really caught our readers’ eye.
OCCASIONS
of pushing the envelope
led to their recent Kwiat diamond takeover, showcasing $10 million of haute jewelry pieces at the Near & Far Aid event that truly wowed shoppers.
Best New Shop // PENFIELD COLLECTIVE
New to Westport last year but with roots in Fairfield, Penfield Collective continues to grow its loyal fanbase season after season. Founder Vanessa Lewis (right) spent more than a decade in merchandising, including a stint at Coach, before conceiving of the laid-back luxury shop. Penfield Collective truly shines in its array of chic staples like LBDs and jeans that are anything but basic. This summer readers report they’re living for the one-piece swimsuit from Fisch under a “Frieda” shirt dress by Bird & Knoll. And for high style way up high, on flights out of town, we suggest a Suzie Kondi terry two-piece set paired with hoops from Jennifer Fisher.

Best Garden Center // DESIGNS BY LEE
Nestled on 12 acres in North Stamford, Designs by Lee almost feels like a green extension of neighbo the Stamford Nature Center. The family-owned garden and nursery stalwart—reliably serving the city and beyond since 1872—prides itself on being as much a community center as an expert in all things plants. Rarely a week goes by that Designs by Lee isn’t hosting an event for locals to connect. Recent classes included a two-hour evening “Succulent Driftwood” workshop, where attendees walked away with handmade arrangements of mosses and florals on a wood base, and the family favorite Summer Garden Party featuring a variety of vendors, food trucks and fun activities (follow @designsbyleeinc to keep up with it all).

Best Cosmetic Spa // SKIN SOLUTIONS COLLECTIVE
The Gold Coast outpost of the elevated derm oasis Skin Solutions Collective on Greewnich Avenue is the third location for the luxe beauty medspa. The space features pristine treatment rooms with all the latest equipment and striking modern decor. But what distinguishes SSC is the level of expertise—and good vibes—that its providers bring. Founders (above) senior aesthetic provider Laura Palmisano, laser exp ert Melissa Knudson, senior aesthetic provider Diana Palmisano and master injector Lauren Abramowitz have 65 years experience among them. They take a full-face approach to having fresh, clear skin through a range of treatments, including facials, microneedling, peels, injectables and more. Best way to start is with a complimentary 15-minute consult.
Best Day Spa + Massage // NOELLE SPA
Today, day spas seem de rigeuer for the well-heeled set, but it wasn't always the case. Sixty-four years ago, when she was a partner at an upscale salon on High Ridge, Noel de Caprio dreamt up a "Day of Beauty" package that combined traditional hair and nail services with then-new facial and massage treaments. It was a smash success, even garnering notice in the New York Times. Noelle Spa was born. Just a minute further up the road from where she first conceived it, Noelle now has a staff of nearly three dozen who expertly delivery services ranging from facials to massages to waxing. More than one new mom has praised the Pregnancy Massage, calling it the thing that got them through the last trimeser. And avid tennis players extol the benefits of the Sports Massage after a long day at play on the court.

We almost wish we had a Grown-Up Party category here too because Make Modern's nights out are a super fun way to celebrate special occasions at any age. For crafty kiddos age five and up, birthday parties include two take-home projects chosen from more than a dozen options. We're partial to the link bracelets as a welcome gift and the monogrammed heart dish as the main craft. Weekly classes for kids range from learning how to sew independently to multiple crafting techniques like felting and decoupage. Summer camp has weekly themes like Pucci to Gucci: Italian Fashion week and Summer Olympics: Paris. Adult classes include sewing, needlepoint and knitting. At a recent grown-up gals event, a reader said, “This is better than book club!” We agree.

Top Dentists
To create our Top Dentists directory, we utilized the experts at topDentists™, which has more than seventy years in combined experience compiling peer-review referral guides in the legal, dental and medical fields. The research company, which started topDentists in 2007, uses a thorough selection process to recognize dentists who are chosen by other dental professionals.
INTRODUCTION
This list is excerpted from the 2024 topDentists™ list, a database which includes listings of more than 210 dentists and specialists in the Fairfield County area. The list is based on thousands of detailed evaluations of dental professionals by their peers. The complete database is available at usatopdentists.com. For more information, call 706-364-0853; write P.O. Box 970, Augusta, GA 30903 or visit usatopdentists.com.
SELECTION PROCESS
“If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to?”
This is the question we’ve asked thousands of dentists to help us determine who the topDentists should be. Dentists and specialists are asked to take into consideration years of experience, continuing education, manner with patients, use of new techniques and technologies and of course physical results.
The nomination pool of dentists consists of all dentists listed online with the American Dental Association as well as dentists listed online with their local dental societies, thus allowing virtually every dentist the opportunity to participate. Dentists are also given the opportunity to nominate other dentists that they feel should be included in our list. Respondents are asked to put aside any personal bias or political motivations and to use only their knowledge of their peer’s work when evaluating the other nominees.
Voters are asked to individually evaluate the practitioners on their ballot whose work they are familiar with. Once the balloting is completed, the scores are compiled and then averaged. The numerical average required for inclusion varies depending on the average for all the nominees within the specialty and the geographic area. Borderline cases are given a careful consideration by the editors. Voting characteristics and comments are taken into consideration while making decisions. Past awards a dentist has received and status in various dental academies can play a factor in our decision.
Once the decisions have been finalized, the included dentists are checked against state dental boards for disciplinary actions to make sure they have an active license and are in good standing with the board. Then letters of congratulations are sent to all the listed dentists.
Of course, there are many fine dentists who are not included in this representative list. It is intended as a sampling of the great body of talent in the field of dentistry in the United States. A dentist’s inclusion on our list is based on the subjective judgments of his or her fellow dentists. While it is true that the lists may at times disproportionately reward visibility or popularity, we remain confident that our polling methodology largely corrects for any biases and that these lists continue to represent the most reliable, accurate, and useful list of dentists available anywhere

SPECIALTY: Family and Cosmetic Dentistry
391 East Putnam Avenue Cos Cob, CT 203.869.2066
GreenwichDentistry.com
Doctors Mark and Sean Sutton of Greenwich Dentistry in Cos Cob are located at 391 East Putnam Ave. Their practice has cared for patients since 1977 and boasts a long history of providing dental services to a loyal patient base. Dr. Sean Sutton joined his father at the helm in 2019 and brings a fresh outlook and contemporary armamentarium to dental care.
Dr. Mark Sutton graduated from NYU College of Dentistry after taking a hiatus from his medical training to pursue an interest in becoming a Hollywood stuntman. After serving as Robin Williams’s stunt double in “World According to Garp,” and appearing in films like “Splash” and “Ghost Busters,” he realized he would rather fix teeth than break them. For over 30 years, Dr. Mark Sutton has helped build one of the oldest and most reputable practices in Greenwich through his commitment to lifelong education, evidence-based practice and patient satisfaction. Dr. Sutton puts his patients’ comfort and treatment expectations at the forefront, while using the latest technology to deliver the highest quality care. He is a member of the American Dental Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, the Connecticut State Dental Association, and the Greenwich Dental Society, where he has served as president.
Dr. Sean Sutton was born and raised in Greenwich, where he was given a firsthand perspective to the impact his father makes in the community through patient care and neighborhood outreach programs. At the University of Michigan, Sean was Captain of the 1st and 2nd ever Division-1 men’s lacrosse teams and excelled in his studies and goal of becoming a doctor. Like his father, Dr. Sean Sutton graduated with honors from NYU College of Dentistry. There, he learned from the top minds in the fields of cosmetic and restorative dentistry, while taking advantage of the school’s world renowned research programs and state-of-the-art dental
technology. He completed his hospital residency program at The Brooklyn Hospital, where he received extensive training in oral surgery, orthodontics and pediatrics. Dr. Sean Sutton believes that oral health is an integral part of overall health and works with specialists in all fields of medicine to provide his patients with healthy and beautiful smiles. Dr. Sean Sutton is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the Connecticut State Dental Association, and the American
Academy of Clear Aligners.
The Greenwich Dentistry office is located on the Post Road in the heart of Cos Cob in a restored Victorian building with plenty of parking. Here, the father- son team guarantees top-quality work while minimizing the stress of going to the dentist. With a friendly staff, a comfortable waiting room (where almost no time is spent), contemporary operatories and cutting-edge technology the anxiety often associated with the dental patient experience is a thing of the past!
TRAYNOR PERIODONTICS & IMPLANTS
56 Lafayette Place, Suite D, Greenwich, CT 203.661.5885 tpigreenwich.com
A Periodontist is a specialized dental professional focusing on preventing, diagnosing, and treating periodontal disease, gum recession and placing dental implants. I have been in practice in Greenwich for 26 years and I have dedicated myself to advancing the field through cutting-edge technology and innovative techniques to improve patient outcomes.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth, providing functional and aesthetic benefits. Over the years, I have continually updated my practice with the latest advancements to enhance precision and success rates. One such advancement is the X-Guide implant navigation system, a state-ofthe-art technology that offers real-time 3D navigation during implant procedures. The X-Guide provides me with a dynamic surgical roadmap, enabling precise implant placement that aligns perfectly with the patient’s anatomy. This technology improves accuracy, reduces surgery time, and promotes quicker recovery.
Palate-Free Root Coverage
In addition to placing dental implants, my practice employs the most innovative technique in periodontal therapy: palate-free gingival grafting for root coverage. Traditional gum grafting often involves harvesting tissue from the patient’s palate, which can be uncomfortable and involves a longer recovery period. The palate-free method utilizes alternative donor sites or biomaterials, minimizing patient discomfort and promoting faster healing. This technique benefits patients experiencing gum recession, offering them a less invasive option with excellent cosmetic results.
Laser Periodontal Therapy
Laser therapy is another cornerstone of my periodontal practice. Utilizing lasers in periodontal treatment has revolutionized the treatment of bone loss, periodontal disease, and peri-implantitis (bone-loss around dental implants). Laser-assisted periodontal therapy targets diseased tissue and bacteria, promoting the regeneration of healthy tissue and bone. The minimally invasive nature of laser treatment means less pain and swelling for patients and shorter recovery times. For patients suffering
from peri-implantitis, lasers provide a highly effective, targeted approach to managing the condition and preserving the longevity of their dental implants.
My practice is not just about utilizing the latest technology; it’s about ensuring each patient receives personalized, comprehensive care. This involves a thorough initial examination, detailed treatment planning, and continuous follow-up to monitor progress and address concerns. Educating patients on the importance of oral hygiene and periodontal maintenance is also a key aspect of my practice, as prevention plays a crucial role in long-term oral health.
With over two decades of experience in periodontics, I have seen firsthand the positive impact that advanced technology and innovative techniques can have on patient care. My commitment to staying at the forefront of periodontal advancements ensures that my patients receive the highest standard of care. Whether through the precision of the X-Guide system for implant placement, the comfort of palate-free gingival grafting, or the efficacy of laser treatments, my goal is to provide optimal outcomes and enhance the overall patient experience.

Linhart Dentistry, with over 40 years of expertise in Midtown Manhattan, has expanded into Greenwich!
“We are old-world service and charm in a modern, stateof-the-art environment”, says Dr. Jan Linhart and Dr. Zachary Linhart, “our history is deeply rooted in New York City, but our story began in Europe, and our patients are from all over the world. We always knew Greenwich would be the next point of expansion, and we are excited to have established our new office in Cos Cob, right in the middle of town.”
In 1979, Dr. Jan Linhart opened the doors to Linhart Dentistry in NYC’s iconic Helmsley Building, steps from Grand Central Terminal. There, Dr. Linhart built a most impressive, full-service dental practice, from fullmouth cosmetic cases to comprehensive general care.
NY Magazine referred to the practice as “One-Stop Dental Perfection!”
In 2010, Dr. Zachary Linhart joined the practice after following in his father’s footsteps of attending Bowdoin College and NYU College of Dentistry. He added his expertise in implantology, and echoing his father, an eye for cosmetic dentistry. Their NYC staff of over 25 consists of top in-house specialists including a Periodontist (gum and implant specialist), Endodontist (Root Canal Specialist), Orthodontist (braces and Invisalign specialist) as well as hygienists, assistants and administrative staff - many of whom have been there for more than twenty years! It’s clear both doctors have the skill and the talent, and their unparalleled abilities to create the most stunning, natural smiles is at the foundation of their world-renowned
reputations as leaders in cosmetic and restorative family dentistry.
When Dr. Zachary Linhart moved to Greenwich in 2016 with his young family, he was returning to the area, having grown up in nearby Purchase, NY and graduating from RCDS. At this point, the plan to extend their NYC practice was set in motion. It wasn’t until the Covid pandemic that Dr. Zachary Linhart fully realized the positive impact a Greenwich practice would have for current Linhart Dentistry patients, as well as other local residents.
“Our added location in this beautiful, suburban environment has provided more, and easier opportunities to keep up with regular dental care. We are so pleased to be offering our services in Greenwich, and look forward to welcoming the community to our new office!”
At Devine Dental our mission is to deliver the highest-quality dental care utilizing the most advanced techniques. Our goal is to have the maximum impact on the oral health and overall well-being of our patients. Through mutual respect, careful communication and cooperation, both Dr. Devine and Dr. DeFina along with their team provide a comfortable and caring atmosphere in which patients always feel their best interests are being served.
Dr. Devine received her undergraduate degree from Queens College. She then graduated from The University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. She completed her residency at the Long Island Jewish-
Hillside Medical Center with advanced training in all aspects of general practice including periodontics, pedodontics, endodontics, oral surgery, oral pathology, restorative dentistry, orthodontics and IV sedation techniques.
Dr. DeFina joined the practice in 2011. He is a Greenwich native, graduating from Greenwich High School in 2000. He then went on to receive his undergraduate degree from Bucknell University. After several years in medical/dental research he went on to the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. Following dental school, he continued his education at the University of Florida AEGD, where he learned advanced techniques in implant
dentistry and esthetics. Dr. DeFina is dedicated to upholding the high standards of the practice and continuing the family tradition of excellence in dentistry. Our commitment to comprehensive dental care also makes us uniquely suited to provide the very best in full mouth rehabilitation for patients seeking to restore beauty and functionality to their smile. This service is one of our signature offerings and is of great benefit to patients with extensive restorative needs. As with all of our treatment plans, we take a great deal of satisfaction in placing our valued patients on the road to wellness by restoring their confidence through excellence in dental care.

DR. JACK DEGRADO is an experienced dentist who has served the New York and Stamford communities for over 30 years. He graduated from Columbia College of Dental Medicine and trained in implantology at Brookdale University Hospital, followed by a specialty in prosthodontics at Montefiore Medical Center. He founded Stamford Dental Group over 23 years ago; today, his practice includes three passionate dentists specializing in prosthodontics who are certified experts in restoring and replacing teeth.
With his experience, Dr. DeGrado is recognized as a specialist in complex implant cases as well as replacement of teeth. His goal is to provide beautiful smiles to people suffering with difficulty chewing, dentures, or loss of teeth.
Stamford Dental Group offers Teeth in One Day, which includes placement of implants and fixed teeth, for immediate improvement. Dr. DeGrado states that “They fit, feel and function like natural teeth. It’s a life changing procedure.”
Stamford Dental Group is a state-of-the-art practice that uses the latest technologies and complies with strict CDC guidelines.
The 3D Cone Beam Computed Tomography
(CBCT) is used for diagnostics, while the advanced laser technology is used to do painless fillings without anesthesia and gum surgery with minimal discomfort. They also use a modern digital scanner for patient comfort and increased accuracy.
Dr. DeGrado believes that “Great patient care goes hand-in-hand with customer service. From the minute people walk in, they see a difference.”
The entire team at Stamford Dental Group is focused on patients’ needs.
That is also why a lot of time is spent during the initial consultation, to understand each patients’ situation and their goals.
Dr. DeGrado also believes in giving back to the community.
For 5 years, he has held a Dentistry from the Heart event at this office and donated free dental care to those in need. He also supports the Food Bank of Fairfield County and Operation Smile, which provides corrective surgeries for children with facial deformities.
Whether you are interested in natural-looking tooth replacement options, repairing badly damaged teeth or improving your smile, his office can develop a plan tailored to your exact needs.

If you add up all the years Dr. Goodwin has been in the Dental Field as a Hygienist and a Dentist, you will see she has been taking care of teeth for over 20 years. “Time has flown by. I’ve had the opportunity to see so many changes in Dentistry.” Technological advances really help her days go by with less stress. At her family practice in Cos Cob she uses the safest equipment and the most up-todate technology available. While there are many things I love about being a Dentist, treatment planning with the local specialists in town is very exciting for me. Being a solo Dentist at my office can get lonely sometimes, so it is great to work and collaborate with a group of talented dentists I also call my friends. I love watching kids I see at 3 or 4 years old grow up. Being a general dentist I can appreciate different stages of growth and even watch them have their own children. But the best
part about my job is the worklife balance it provides me of a mother of 2 active boys. I can get into work early, treat patients all day, and make it to their events after school. It is most important to me not to miss my children growing up, and Dentistry allows me to do just that.
Our practice has continues to serve our community for over 20 years. We provide state-ofthe-art treatment in all phases of dentistry, including after hour emergency care. We engage in continuing education to stay up to date with the latest technologies to best serve our patients and families. We get to know our patients very, very well. Our staff have been with our practice a LONG time. We love seeing our patients all over town. I love when kids run up to me to show me their wiggly teeth or when patients introduce me to their families. It’s a great feeling and the reason I love being a Local Dentist.

Dr. Gary Wong is an orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic specialist who has practiced in Greenwich, Connecticut for the past twenty-eight years. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Tufts School of Dentistry; and completed his Postdoctoral Program in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Wong has taught as a clinical instructor in the Undergraduate Dental Program at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine; and was also an associate professor in the Graduate Orthodontic Program at New York University, College of Dentistry.
Beyond his basic orthodontic training, Dr. Wong has always been a strong believer of Continuing
Education. This way he has been able to keep up with the latest trends in orthodontic methods and technologies.
Dr. Wong is one of the original graduates of the Invisalign Master’s Program. Over the Covid-19 Pandemic, Dr. Wong completed his Align Intensive Fellowship.
In growing children and adolescents, Dr. Wong can use a variety of methods that utilizes their growth potential. This allows him to improve/correct any predetermined growth patterns or destructive oral habits that are causing the patient’s malocclusion. In adult orthodontic cases, there is no growth to help correct their malocclusions. Therefore, the orthodontic treatment goals, methods and prognosis are very different from that of a growing child. In more
complicated adult cases, the lack of growth sometimes makes it necessary to design an interdisciplinary treatment plan. This requires collaboration with the patient’s general dentist, and/or other dental specialists.
Dr. Wong’s orthodontic practice has prided itself in providing the highest quality of service for every child, adolescent or adult patient that comes to his office. He has always believed in maintaining the highest level of professional ethics, and he will only start orthodontic treatment if and when it is appropriate to do so. His capable and friendly staff has always tried to make every patient’s orthodontic treatment an enjoyable experience in a comfortable, relaxed environment.
