We had the crab tostada, the meatballs, and the pork shoulder for two. We were so pleased. If we hadn't been SO FULL (and we took home most of the pork), we would have ordered the dulce de leche churros. Seeing your post now, we regret not getting them to go and having them for breakfast. We truly enjoyed our meal there and now have a great memory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336607172613832487.post-91923568583552752912015-08-14T11:59:36.694-04:002015-08-14T11:59:36.694-04:00Thank you, Elsa.

I recently came across your post and I am excited that you are excited for some great Eritrean and Ethiopian food.<br /><br />We will be opening on Thursday, July 30, 2015. You can visit us at www.teffrestaurant.com for more information or send me an email if you have questions. <br /><br />There is plenty of street parking up and down West Main Street/Mill River Street adjacent to the playground and park. We also have a lot less than 500 feet away. <br /><br />Also, give the West Side a try, it's not sketchy. It's not a super polished downtown Stamford, but it's a wonderful neighborhood that has been kind and safe for us as we've previously owned a business and the building across from the Mill River Playground for 15+ years. Come down and give it a try, you won't regret it. <br /><br />Hope to see you soon!<br /><br />Elsa Mekonen<br />Operations, Teff Restaurant<br />113 West Main Street<br />Stamford, Connecticut 06902<br />teffrestaurant.com<br />teffrestaurant@gmail.comElsa Mekonennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336607172613832487.post-69835768782467070742015-06-05T09:23:38.701-04:002015-06-05T09:23:38.701-04:00Tried Ethiopian in New Haven once.

It was interesting, not worth driving 45 minutes for, but if it's in Stamford I'd give it a shot to try again, even though that's bordering on the sketchy side of town.

The people developing the neighborhood have absolutely no intention in building a community, and that's been clear from the start. Their MO is to generate income and kick out anyone who gets in their way (like the people who grew up in the area). <br /><br />Just like so many other parts of Stamford, it's shortsighted and going to end up being an eyesore in 15 years. Ugh.<br /><br />Think they'll allow any local businesses to open up in the south end? There's some really pretty old building sitting empty, yet they're rushing to throw another CVS in. Ugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336607172613832487.post-8518619541461640092014-02-22T14:00:11.712-05:002014-02-22T14:00:11.712-05:00I spent my summers on Wallack Point, my relatives,...I spent my summers on Wallack Point, my relatives, Myrtle ( youngest prima doña at the metropolitan opera) and Harold Burns bought the 12 acres on Burns Road in 1927 for $ 120,000. Dollars.<br />They lived in Manhattan and spent the weekends at Wallack Point. Our home had a fabulous beach party house, on the sound, a grass tennis court, greenhouses, and early on a stable with horses. Also, several guest cottages because they entertained lavishly in those days.<br /><br />The home on the island at the end of the road was indeed owned by the Gilbert's, who were part of the Rockefeller family.<br />Fourth of July fireworks were best seem from there.<br />Bill Buckley lived on the next property on the <br /> other side of Burns Avenue. Both properties went from the road to the beach. <br />It was the most wonderful place to spend summer days, and Stamford was a very small town, I am amazed at how it has turned into such a corporate community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336607172613832487.post-41049722512926327702013-10-31T07:38:11.973-04:002013-10-31T07:38:11.973-04:00i unfortunately know the democrat and seen him in...i unfortunately know the democrat and seen him in his inaction, Fedelle i do not know, so your candidate nomination is good with me, i have to say, i am sorryTong did not get the democrat non, i have seen him in action and was impressed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04414561988993487725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336607172613832487.post-81522323906853078522013-10-30T17:26:18.781-04:002013-10-30T17:26:18.781-04:00Looks like you spoke a few hours too soon with reg...Looks like you spoke a few hours too soon with regards to the hole in the ground, except it's going to be Pavia that gets the credit ;)<br />http://blog.ctnews.com/stamford411/2013/10/30/pavia-to-announce-a-fill-for-the-hole-in-the-ground/hubbardheights2002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336607172613832487.post-14980366100559740982013-10-30T16:28:31.024-04:002013-10-30T16:28:31.024-04:00Done and done.
