My stay the New Haven Lawn Club on a family visit to Connecticut yielded a positive impression of…read morethe accommodations, hospitable staff, dining and recreation facilities. A 5-star private social club in the Platinum Clubs of America, it is situated on Whitney Avenue near the Yale University campus, and two blocks from Ingalls Rink and State Street (home to Modern Apizza, our favorite in the Pizza Capital of the World). The New Haven Lawn Club offers five comfortable, spacious overnight guest rooms and one suite, a main dining room seating 200, and a grand ballroom seating 300 that was being used for a wedding reception the night we stayed there. The fitness center and four squash courts are open 24x7. Outdoors, there is a pool, toddler pool, eight Hart-tru tennis courts, two paddle courts and a playground. Guests enjoy free parking and wifi. We enjoyed pre-game cocktails in the bar off the Grill Room, accommodating 100, where lunch and dinner are served Wednesday-Saturday, and where seasonal Sunday brunch and supper are available. A unique feature of the club is art exhibits hung in the rotunda outside the Grill Room. Rebuilt in 1931 after a fire destroyed the original two years earlier, the clubhouse was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 2003. It also is designated A New Haven Landmark by the New Haven Preservation Trust.

By the time the recital came around, I was blown away by how much they could do. My girls are also on the Astra competition teams and we all love going to competitions. Miss Brittany is a clever and talented choreographer; her artistry shines through with every number and costume. Miss Brittany and Miss Nanci are genuinely warm and kind; they treat their dancers (and their families) like family. We love Astra Studio!

My wife and I got married at Owenego 3 months ago, and we are still glowing from what a magical…read moreexperience it was! The staff was extremely accommodating, friendly, and warm. John Bloomquist made sure all our dietary needs and desires were beyond satisfied, and the food (both pass-arounds and main meal) was OUTSTANDING! His wife, Pat, also made a plate of vegetarian pass-arounds and personally delivered it to the bride as she was busy adjusting her dress, making sure she got fed. So thoughtful!! Jane Peck and the rest of the staff made sure everything looked beautiful and ran smoothly. The entire wedding year experience involved very little stress, largely in part to Owenego making sure everything was under control and in check. They allowed us to execute our vision in terms of design while making sure everything ran smoothly. Our friends keep saying it was the best wedding they've ever been to. I highly recommend you book your wedding at Owenego!

At about this time of year, as many of the female contingent of our family who live in the North…read moreEast as possible get together for a weekend in Connecticut. Sometimes we go to New York City and other times we find something to do closer to our home base (the lovely town of Ridgefield). If you've ever participated in one of those paint and sip parties and figure that this is the same-old thing, you'd be mistaken. The similarities are not hard to miss. (1) You bring in your favorite snacks and beverages (particularly the adult beverages that we all love, WINE!), (2) you will paint stuff, (3) there is expert assistance to help you paint stuff, and (4) it's an estrogen-rich environment (think girl's night out). Usually, for the paint parties, you have to paint what the instructor decides to paint. In my experience, it's a forced affair--sometimes stressful and rushed to get the group out and make way for the next--with the end product landing squarely on the floor of my closet until I pitch it. The plank painting experience lets you know that this is different, because when you sign up, THEY LET YOU DECIDE what you want to paint! When you arrive, the project is professionally laid out for you, with your name on it. The individual guidance doesn't end there. There were about 20 people there, working on projects, and 3 staff members, but I never felt neglected. There were announcements that fit everyone through the event, but a lot of the instructions were one-on-one. Suggestions were made and a plan was agreed with each individual. The staff even adapted the projects on-the-fly to make it an optimal outcome, making some of the art very personal. Ample time was given to each person and help was given without stress. The one thing (among many) that I appreciated was that we were allotted several hours and then ended up taking more. The staff was gracious and patient and never uttered a word that we took too much time. They made it WONDERFUL fun and I know that we'll be back in the future!

My first experience with this craft. I loved the way it came out. The owner was pretty patient, but…read moreI guess she has to be it's a learning experience. I went with some friends, we had a good time. I guess maybe my reading prior reviews made me a little on edge, the ones that said the owner was not very nice in so many words. I was a little guarded because of that. She was ok, not warm and fuzzy but well then that's just her personality. I figure you're not there to make friends, just a painted plank! Which I was very happy with. I'd go back again and still do recommend. Maybe the more you go, the better the connection? I'm going back to find out!

They have lots of tables for four or five people. You just drop in and they have a large amount of different ceramics that you can pick to paint. The price is on it. It's a flat rate whatever the price is that's all you pay. You take home your work the same day as the glaze is a no fire glaze. We were able to bring food and snacks and drinks and enjoyed our time together. They also have adult and child painting classes. I would definitely recommend coming by. They also do parties with a large room in the back as well..

You can pick from a bunch of different things to paint and there is an area to pick whatever colors you want. There are a lot of colors. They clean the brushes and give a you a bunch to choose from.
