    We took the Leprechaun Express to celebrate St. Patrick's Day weekend from the station in Thomaston…read morewith a destination of Bad Dog Brewing in Torrington. Tasting two different Irish style ales on the train ride, we enjoyed a corned beef and cabbage meal at the brewery. On the way back to Thomaston, we were served fudge from the Nutmeg Fudge Co. The Naugatuck Railroad always provides a fun experience!

    We rode on the 90-minute Fall Foliage trip out of Thomaston, the first time we've ridden on the…read moreNaugatuck Railroad in five years. Our experience was good, mostly. We paid extra to ride in the Governor's Coach which was comfortable enough but not as pleasant as the slightly less expensive Naugatuck Lounge Car. We had chair seating but no tables and small windows; the Naugatuck had large windows that opened, chairs with convenient tables and the same comfy chairs. A much better deal. Wish the museum folks had made that clearer. We got free snacks: chips and water. The views were nice but not spectacular; most of the fall colors had faded. We did stop for close to 30 minutes at Fascia Chocolates in Waterbury, which offers tasty if rather expensive chocolates for the large crowds that swarm in when the train stops. Overall we enjoyed ourselves, but we kept feeling just a tad annoyed by our rail coach decisions. We like these trains, and we support the museum, and we're happy to urge others to do the same. But be careful in your planning, like we apparently weren't.

    The vibe in this place was great! The staff were so helpful to explain their menu and drinks…read more The food options are all shareable/Tapas. We ordered a few to try and it was plenty of food. The drink menu was awesome. Creative combos but also very good. They also have a full bar of the ones listed don't hit the spot for you. It's an intimate settling with limited tables. You are definitely encouraged to sit back and enjoy the food and company as you listen to the piano player. It was a great dining experience for sure. If drinks and vibe are what you are looking for this is the place.

    A new spot in the Watertown night scene, several friends suggested it would be the kind of place I…read morewould enjoy, considering my jazz background. I found myself with a hole in my social calendar one Thursday night the second week they were open, and decided to see what the buzz was all about. Their website and facebook page suggested to "dress to impress", so I dug out one of my bespoke Italian suits and found the perfect silk tie to match (lots of orange, because it was nearly Halloween) and hopped in the car to arrive early enough for the first show (they have two shows per night, 7pm and 9pm, both roughly 90 minutes). Picturing a bar-full of women in swanky gowns and men attired similarly to me, I was disappointed in finding out that substituting heels for sneakers with jeans was the norm for women, and throwing on a blazer over jeans was the standard for men. This is more a reflection of the area, than the business, and there were some couples who took this suggestion seriously, with some people dressed to the nines. The inside is gorgeous, with the lounge area filled with comfortable-looking seating areas, and a couple of tables for diners (not a lot of those, however). Paintings of legendary singers lined the walls. The bar area is sparsely decorated, and a bit too starkly lit for my taste, picturing the smoky jazz joints of my misspent youth. Lots of stools, and a beautiful stone bar top completed the look. I found a seat at the bar, and ordered a martini. No Stolichnaya available (except for raspberry) so I settled for Grey Goose instead. It was perfectly mixed, and I awaited for the piano show to begin. As they were new and starting to fill their entertainment ranks, that night they had a pianist who was auditioning. He was acceptable, with a decent voice, but lacked a lot of the spark of other performers I've seen. I have to go back another night to hear some of their other performers they have lined up. There's a menu of small plates that will fit nicely with cocktails, which is the main attraction there, with a list of seasonal offerings. Since I had already eaten, I didn't order any food, but what I saw presented to others looked good. Something for my next trip. All in all, this is someplace I will probably frequent, since it's close by, and in time, I'm sure the concept will catch on and become very popular. I'd suggest giving 88Keys a try for a special date night, or someplace to go if you're looking for a different vibe than the other entertainment venues in the area.
