The Wheel & Cisco Brewers in Stamford, CT

The Wheel in Stamford has quickly risen to fan favorite stardom for its farm-to-table dishes sourced from 40 local farmers, fishermen and purveyors, plus crazy good wood-fired pizzas (the Funghi is our love language).

The restaurant also just debuted an outdoor bar on its waterfront patio to keep the alfresco vibes going well into fall, before the igloos take over for the winter season.

In the summer months, check out Nantucket’s beloved Cisco Brewers‘ outpost at The Village! The brewery-distillery-winery triple threat opened last year and quickly became a go-to spot on weekends, with live music, lots of pups, the best craft ales and tasty nibbles. —Kelli Acciardo, Parade
