Somewhere along the way, accordions got a bad rap. You can do a Google search for "accordion jokes"…read moreand the results will be super corny. Maybe there was some rogue accordionist who terrorized people by playing really poorly or something. I don't know. But it's totally unfounded. Paul Ramunni, director of the New England Accordion Museum, put it plainly. "This music brings people together." It's about happiness, dancing, maybe a few beers and enjoying life. During the tour, Paul told many stories about the accordions in the museum. A teenage girl performed a bunch of USO concerts with her accordion for allied troops during World War II the night before they went to battle. Another was rescued from a family who were victims of the holocaust. And still another one was from a grandfather who simply used to play for his children when he had the chance. On a personal note, I love small museums. Their character and spirit are unmatched and make visiting a new place a wonderful experience. I highly suggest a visit.

They have a full bar and lots of space in the dining hall. They also have plenty of seating outside. The menu offers a wide variety of different options. One thing that stood out to me was some of the entrées were close to the same price as the appetizers. I got boneless buffalo wings and they were so good. I also got the fried mozzarella, but I didn't really like it. My son got a chicken sandwich and truffle fries, which was really good. I did ask for a hotdog dog, but they were all out. There is plenty of room for parking.

Every time I/we decide to visit the Belted Cow at the Canaan Country Club two things happen…read more 1) we remember again how beautiful their remodel of a few years ago is, and how we sometimes almost have to remind ourselves that we are only 5 minutes away from our family home 2) we have a very good meal, reasonably priced, and with a varied enough menu to satisfy our "pub food" and/or "nicer-dinner food" cravings. You may not realize it, but Chef Jay makes his signature burger buns in house (they're good, right?!?). Many menu items are thoughtfully constructed and truly separate it from other dining experiences in Northern Litchfield County. We always start with wings. We've made peace with the fact that they're a frozen product. But, that ensures consistency and a very nice, meaty product. If you have not been in a while, please go. You'll be happy you did. Service is good. Look and feel of the place is fantastic. Chef works hard to produce quality out of his kitchen.

I saw this place on social media, and since I've been to vineyards before, I wanted to try it in…read morethe Fall. My friend and I booked an igloo (thankfully--we'll get to that). Aquila's gives a 30-minute grace period, which helped since the area gets very dark at night and the roads are narrow. I knew ahead of time there would be a lobster food truck and a live salsa band. When you arrive, you check in with the hostess, though there's no clear hostess stand since she's stationed at the end of the bar. The inside was crowded with no available seats, but we weren't there for the band anyway. Our igloo had a heater, but two would've been ideal. They recommend bringing a blanket, which I forgot, but it wasn't too cold--around the high 40s. We tried the "Sweet Wine Flight," which included Sparkling Rosé, Moscato, and white and red wine slushies. The white wine slushy was my favorite. It started raining while we were there, and everyone with fire pits cleared out, so I was extra glad we chose an igloo. They offered a cheese box, but it looked too small, so we stuck to drinks. Our server was polite and brought everything out quickly. Reservations give you two hours, and we had a great time. I like the variety of reservation options they offer. For suggestions: it would be nice to have a real charcuterie board instead of tiny cheese and veggie boxes. The indoor space could also be larger, especially for people coming for the live band, and there are no seats around the bar. Overall, though, it's a cozy spot, and I enjoyed the experience.
