The Top Places You Must Go To Eat In Fairfield

There are so many amazing things about Fairfield whether it be the beach or the proximity to New York City that draws the eye. There is also an incredible downtown area to enjoy. In the fall, the streets are covered in the remnants of gorgeous orange and brown leaves. Just wait until the Christmas season when every store window and tree is decorated in christmas lights; you can't help but adore the streets of Fairfield. Downtown allows us college kids to get a break from campus and enjoy any food that does not come from a cafeteria. With Parents Weekend just behind us I am sure many of you, including myself, enjoyed some of Fairfield's finest restaurants, (for free thanks to mom and dad). And if not, here are some must go-to's for the future:

1. Cafe Madeline

A cozy and quaint cafe with food to die for. It is one of those cute little restaurants that every time you walk by you say to your friends, "we have to go here it looks adorable." Well friends, go, like yesterday. The portions are great, the dessert is mouth watering (especially for chocolate lovers), and the owner and staff are incredibly kind, hard-working and efficient.

2. Old Post Tavern

If your in the mood for some Italian cuisine, this is the place for you. While a bit more formal, Old Post Tavern is great no matter the occasion. Just remember when the Fairfield families are in town book your reservation early because this place gets packed.

3. Colony Grill

Pizza, pizza, pizza please. Colony Grill is perfect for that post work day/work week pizza craving (come on admit it we all have them). Colony Grill makes the pizza you want all day everyday with its variety or flavors and thin crust it will leave you wanting more.

4. Pronto

Calling all the salad and sandwich lovers, this is the perfect place for you. With its casual look Pronto's is great for on-the-go quality food. You can even customize your order...does it get an sweeter?

5. B Good

A new addition to Fairfield, B Good is a great place to enjoy on-the-go, real food. They make the burger and fries so you don't feel sick from eating it a couple hours later. It's an all around awesome atmosphere with healthy, delicious food. Oh and try a smoothie or milkshake, I dare you.

6. Las Vetas Lounge

This coffee shop resembles every kind of TV show hangout place you dreamed of having right around your corner. It is great for catching up on work, doing some light reading, or having a nice afternoon cup of tea with an old friend. It is really trendy and artsy with tasty treats and comfort food like old fashioned soup and grilled cheese. Las Vetas is truly one of the best.

7. 16 handles

You do not have to feel guilty because its frozen yogurt, right? Go ahead add the whip cream and hot fudge on your non-fat strawberry yogurt. 16 Handles is a great self-serve froyo place perfect for anyone that needs a good pick me up.

8. Chips Restaurant

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Chips has all good prices, (eh hem Stag bucks $$$), great service, great food. Totally worth the uber ride.

The list of places to eat in downtown Fairfield are endless and these are just a few of the great ones to try. But seriously spend your money or someone else's dining at every one of these sometime really soon, you won't regret it.

Also hey no one is judging you if you decide to visit every single place in one day, we applaud you.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
