Just a Friday night in the downtown.....

My husband and I thought we'd try Asian this past Friday night. Galangal was our choice. ( Located at 35 Atlantic Street) Along busy Atlantic street, we sat at a sidewalk table watching the passersby. I ordered an amazing seafood hot pot, not spicy, but hot, Thai-style soup. I would say that the food was pretty good. It was a quiet spot, but a good choice nonetheless.
It being a nice evening, my husband I decided to take short stroll to see what else was happening. We walked through Kwainis Park, and up lower Summer Street until we ran into the hustle bustle of Ferrante. As the owner, Lenny, stood outside greeting his patrons, we couldn't help but be drawn in by its charm. Although we had already eaten dinner, we decided that Ferrante would be a great place to enjoy a nice glass of Merlot. This place was full of energy. At the bar, we sat under a huge bouquet of fresh flowers, and enjoyed its aroma as well as an excellent glass of wine.
Afterwards, we headed over to the Pantry and Wine Shop at Napa (Broad Street) where Laura, the knowledgeable wine salesperson, recommended just the right bottle of wine to take home to top off our evening.
What a nice pleasant evening in Stamford Downtown to start off the summer......
