So Nice in Sono
Friday, May 04, 2007
Looking for a great way to spend a weekend (or week) day? Head to South Norwalk, there's fun to be had by the whole family!
For the Kids
The Maritime Aquarium
Visit with seals and sea turtles, get a feel for crabs, sea stars and more in the touch tanks, come face to face with sharks and hundreds of other amazing animals from Long Island Sound. Then see an IMAX movie and the latest special exhibit Adventure Under the Sea with Sponge Bob! Meet some of the real undersea animals (like sponges, crabs, and sea stars) that inspired the Sponge Bob cartoon characters., and learn about their amazing adaptations Some of them, like the yellow boring sponge, live right here in Long Island Sound. You'll also see color-changing cuttlefish, crabs that can survive out of the water, and Gus...the world's largest lobster on display, and maybe the meanest! 10 North Water Street, Norwalk #852-0700 www.maritimeaquarium.com

Tailor New York
Our galpal Joanne loves this Sono shop for both her and her teenage daughter. Its trendy-but-not-too-trendy collections are especially strong for the Spring/Summer season. Currently they have a great selection of madras and seersucker in shorts, skirts and super-cute dresses. Make a quick stop in and get yourself a treat. (Use Sweet Rexie's as a bribe for a little me-time) 68 water st. #203-853-7465 www.tailornewyork.com
