Did Your Town Make the List of the Best Towns in Connecticut?

I’m a big fan of lists and rankings, especially those that spotlight the best of Connecticut. So, when Conde Nast Traveler recently released their list of the best towns in the state, I had to check it out.

My reaction to these lists is almost always the same, Greater-Danbury never gets any love. Our towns are loaded with beauty, excitement, great food and top-notch entertainment but we never make it into the "Top Anything."

The author said "read on for our list, which, as a numbered round-up on the internet, is subjective and limited to the writers’ immaculate (but personal) taste." I can appreciate that this list, all of these lists are about personal opinion but you'd think eventually one of these folks would stumble through our area.

Maybe they could spend a Sunday afternoon sipping wine at Aquila's Nest in Newtown? Or, they could catch a world-class night of entertainment at the Ridgefield Playhouse? Is it possible for them to take a stroll the historic Brookfield center? OR, maybe go to Danbury and eat their way through the many amazing restaurants, in one of the most diverse cities in the country!?

What are we even doing here. All that said, this list is cool and the communities they highlighted are very nice.
