Norwalk Main/Wall Street Festival This Saturday, June 7th

I love visiting SoNo and the Wall Street area of Norwalk. Not only are there amazing restaurants (Fat Cat Pie, Chocopologie, Match... just to name  a few), but it's definitely a little grittier (in a good way) than most of Fairfield County and I love how every time I go there, I find something new to love. Visiting this revitalized area is exciting and it always makes me feel there's a piece of the big city life still within my reach. Go hang out in SoNo on a Saturday night and you'll see what I mean - there's some serious nightlife going on. 

But there's plenty for the kiddies too...as you can see from this press release that I am sharing below, about the Norwalk Main/Wall Street Festival this Saturday, June 7th. It's a FREE event sponsored by the local business community.  I can't make it but if you can attend, I'd love to hear from you next week about how it all turned out.
