I'm a big fan of the "Our Woven Community" program. It supports refugee women with opportunities to make and sell beautiful handbags, scarves and other items. I recently bought two tote bags as gifts for friends. The bags were lovely, unique, and each one included a biography of the woman who created it. My friends loved them! Our Woven Community doesn't have an official shop space in the Burroughs building, so I called ahead and when I got there the receptionist showed me bins full of items for sale. They also sell the products online and at craft fairs, farmers markets, etc. Half the proceeds go to the women directly, and the other half pays for supplies, equipment, and entrepreneurial skills training.

The building is beautiful, always clean and has an attendant in the front when you enter. The meeting space in each room is perfect.

During my time here in CT I've noticed that when it comes to your average "all-ages" events/venues…read moreyou get one of two experiences. You basically have to pick between hanging out with the dim-witted, mainstream types at loud, gaudily lighted "nightclubs" that are basically just high school dances with more skin and bouncers instead of chaperones or tiny, cramped, pseudo-hipstery music venues like The Space where you pay to stand around and be judged by even bigger douchebags in "Defend Pop Punk" hoodies. Where those places fail, the Amity Teen Center succeeds. They don't try to reel you in with goofy decorations that look like they came from a T.G.I Fridays managed by Tim Burton nor do they cater to the baser instincts of the young and stupid. They know their demographic and they use that knowledge to create an atmosphere that is both fun and safe. The bands that play there always bring something new and unique to the table and for those just looking for a place to get away from it all to hang with their friends and play some video games the arcade area is kept clean and orderly. The staff are more than happy to help no matter what and go out of their way to be as friendly and accommodating as possible. For them it isn't just a job, it's a second home, and that really shows in how well the place is run on a day to day basis. If you haven't checked it out yet and even if you're in the 18+ crowd I would highly recommend checking it out, especially on weekends when the stage is open to bands both local and touring from sometimes even as far away as other countries. It's definitely a place worth experiencing.

Opening night can have its challenges, but overall, the State House venue is very promising…read more More could have been done with the space aesthetically. And there are pockets of the space with super bright lights. And bathrooms by the entrance is weird. (Plus, there's a bigger bathroom in the basement.) That being said, the wood floors are good for dancing, and the sound system is pretty good for the size of the space. It has a subtle warehouse club feel, which is great for the New Haven scene. The event itself had some issues, like pure silence before the opening act. Felt a bit amateur; at least try to transition! Also, there was a big gap between the openers and the headliner. The guy doing tickets basically shrugged. The crowd on this given night was pretty diverse and excited to hear DJ Lag, whose unique genre of electronic music kept most of us intrigued and entertained. No liquor license yet, which was a drag. Looking forward to seeing who else comes to this venue.

This is not a Review for the Fayerwether Yacht Club, but for the restaurant, Jeffrey's…read more I just moved to the area and a friend suggested joining the club would be a great opportunity to meet local people. She invited me for dinner to maybe become a member. We had cocktails and the prices (for members maybe?) were incredible. The club was lovely, got introduced to very nice people, The location is also great, right on the water, with a nice deck, and boats coming in and out under a killer sunset. right now I am a fan, ready to become a member, love the place. Then our dinner orders came in: Appetizers - I had the eggplant rollatini. It consisted of a very thin slice of eggplant with a LOT of breading. I could not finish it., that's how bad it was. My Friend had the Antipasto Rustico, which was supposed to be, according to the menu, "Prosciutto, Salami, cheese selection platter, server with parmesan crostini bread". She got a lettuce salad topped with supermarket ham, supermarket salami, and one single cheese, mozzarella. We both complained. The answer I got for my eggplant rollatini was that all other customers were happy with it. My friend was pushier, and got an offer to add Blue Cheese to her single "multiple slices of cheese platter". No Procciuto, no cheese selection. It's Supermarket ham and cheese on lettuce after all. Then I ordered the lobster roll, and my friend ordered the steak. My friend could not eat her steak and kept on pushing it around her plate. It was really tough. The lobster roll I ordered OMG, the meat was grey. It tasted like nothing. I complained to the waiter, he brought the chef over and was assured the lobster meat was real lobster. .. Guess becoming a member now it's off the table. I'll just come in with a friend, no need to pay membership for a place you can't have a decent meal at.
