Pack your bags and head to Greenwich, Connecticut for a fun weekend getaway filled with exceptional restaurants, outstanding drinks, great shopping and a beautiful downtown for strolling. This picturesque town is the perfect location to unwind and reset after a busy week. Greenwich is the perfect place to visit with friends or for a couples getaway.
Greenwich, Connecticut is an amazing place to travel anytime of the year, but I highly recommend visiting during the summer to enjoy the outdoor and waterfront dining as well as explore the town. Greenwich is the perfect weekend getaway for those who live in New York City as it is only a forty-five minute drive from the Big Apple.
