Playroom Meets Cafe at Stay and Play in Old Saybrook
UpdateĀ 2015: This venue is no longer open. They (unfortunately) closed their doors permanently earlier this year.

OAAM Tiny Diner Series: On The Border in Rocky Hill

Tiny Trains are Tons of Fun at Time Machine Toy and Hobby

To celebrate Chanukah: a recipe you’ll like a latke
Last night marked the first of the eight nights of Chanukah, the Jewish Festival of Lights. In addition to lighting the candles and spinning the dreidel, cooking foods fried in oil is also an important holiday tradition. This symbolizes the ancient miracle of Chanukah in which oil sufficient for only a day continued to burn […]
