Susan Israel is a new “06880” reader. She does not live in Westport — but over the next month, she’ll pass through here a few times a week.
Susan is sharp. She quickly grasped that “06880” readers know everything — and love to share their knowledge. (Also, their opinions.)
She wants to stop on her way through, and explore Westport. Here’s what she’s looking for: “the coolest, most eclectic shops and cafes, points of interest and interesting pit stops.”
She’s a writer, so she also wants to know “where would you feel most comfortable working on your manuscript while sipping a latte?”
SoNo Bakery has quickly become downtown’s go-to cafe.
And: “If you were into one-of-a-kind sporty clothes — nothing too expensive — where would you want to spend hours trying on stuff?
Plus: “What is the out-of-the-ordinary attraction that you would say is a must-see?”
Finally: “Where would you park your car?”
I had an easy answer for the “coolest, most eclectic shop”: Indulge by Mersene.
A customer browses (left), while Mersene makes sure all is well. Check out the Westport pillows!
But I promised Susan I’d crowd-source all her questions. So, guy and gals: Get to it. Click “Comments” to answer 1 (or all) of our soon-to-be-frequent-visitor’s questions.
PS: Don’t just provide a list. Tell her why you love these places!
