[quote=Anonymous]I loved growing up in the burbs - and I grew up in Greenwich!  I spent a lot of my time at dance and wouldn’t give that up for the world but I loved hanging out in our basement or the backyard with friends, playing ping pong or swimming in the pool or watching movies. I have so many fond memories of pasta parties with friends before cross country meets and walking down Greenwich Ave going for crepes or coffee or hanging in the commons. We spent a lot of time at our tennis club too which was really fun and Todd’s point is just wonderful. There’s a concession stand there and a bunch of tables right on the beach and if you go on a Friday or Saturday night in the summer, you’ll see lots of teens there. We also used to bike to the port where you can catch a boat to Island Beach. I haven’t been in a while but it’s lovely and lots of people would bring stuff to grill and it was always a fun day. We also went to the city a lot. The express trains from Greenwich station are 45 minutes to Grand Central and many houses are walkable or bikeable to the station. We all had monthly passes so it was fun! We tried to get into bars and make in on the last train back :D And one of the best things about growing up there was that it was completely normal to go into the city for dinner and a Broadway show or to the see the ballet after school. Highly recommend the area! [/quote]
