Best local spring menus

Not only is it time to jump for joy seeing that the sun is finally shining but with this welcomed injection of vitamin D comes the beloved spring menus. Full of fresh veggies and dishes to delight, how could I not share the excitement? While the restaurants from the tippy top to the very bottom of the avenue are all on my top fav’s list there are a few off the beaten path that I like to sprinkle into the mix.

From Byram to GRW Avenue to Summer Street in Stamford the spring menus are officially here and I for one am psyched.

The 3 rest’s that I have chosen to share some spring items from are …drumroll…CHAR in Byram, Gingerman on GRW Ave and Cask Republic in Stamford.
