Local Stamford bloggers, Stamford Talk and Streets of Stamford are kicking my butt…but what’s new?
I must admit, I pretty much never walk down lower Summer St. when I’m heading downtown, so I haven’t taken much note of changes down there. However, Stamford talk has a recent post about the opening of the new chain wings joint a chain Mexican restaurant and an update on Barcelona.
I’m somewhat skeptical of the first two, however, I am looking forward to Barcelona, which will open where Zinc had been and has â for Stamford â prime outdoor seating. From the sounds of things, the tapas restaurant will open at the beginning of summer and be a welcome addition to the dining options in downtown Stamford.
Also, take note of Streets of Stamford’s short post about Chavin, the Peruvian restaurant taking over Zody’s spot on Atlantic. Chavin opened yesterday and I grabbed a menu, but decided to rush out because I couldn’t take the pan flutes blaring over the stereo system. All the usual suspects are present on the menu and I plan on trying it out soon.

Hey, this is Andy, the owner of Barcelona. Thanks for bearing with us. The new Barcelona is coming along quickly, but we really put a lot of time into re-designing the space, and we want to get it just right. I try never to put a hard opening date on restaurants, because so much is dependent on the permitting process, but we’re right there with you in shooting for some nice summer dining.
