Introducing the 109th Spotlight

February 28, 2023

Moving forward, I will be sending out an email (which you can sign up for by entering your information on the right side of my website) every month called the "109th Spotlight."  This is a great opportunity to highlight everything Danbury has to offer-- from outdoor activities to cultural attractions; there's something for everyone. In addition to highlighting the small businesses, restaurants, and museums that contribute to our city's success, we'll also be recognizing individuals in our community.

109th Spotlight

Using the results from their reader poll and additional selections chosen by their panel of experts, Connecticut Magazine's Best Restaurants of 2023 has been announced. In the 109th District, two restaurants were recognized. 

Atlantic Restaurant

Atlantic Restaurant  (located at 176 Osborne St., Danbury) was named the best Spanish or Portugues Restaurant in Fairfield County.

Atlantic RestaurantI completely agree with Connecticut Magazine. Atlantic Restaurant serves some of the most authentic Portuguese dishes filled with flavor. I’ve known Helena and David Abrantes for years and I know how dedicated they are to their business and their customers. Stop by soon for a wonderfully delicious meal! 

Barbarie's Black Angus Grill

For Best Steak House, Expert's picked Barbarie's Black Angus Grill (located at 5 Eagle Road, Danbury). With their friendly staff and great food, you really can't go wrong with anything on this menu.

I also wanted to highlight a very special place to me, Capers Too (located at 18 Great Plain Rd, Danbury). I had the honor of visiting Chef Deborah Dividino at the beginning of January and was one of the first individuals to try the 109th District Sandwich. 

Caper's TooThe 109th District Sandwich includes a chicken cutlet, pickled red onions, and dijon mustard in between a toasted brioche-- yum!

I'm looking forward to highlighting different places, businesses, and people each month in my 109th Spotlight. Stay tuned for so much more to come! As always, if I can be of assistance, please don't hesitate to email me directly.
