CTMQ’s Guide to Brooklyn

Everything Brooklyn

I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Brooklyn CTMQ-style… as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ.

If I’ve missed anything in town or if anything has closed or changed, please let me know.

Should you ever find yourself wandering around in Brooklyn again, there’s a new restaurant across the road from the Brooklyn WalMart called the Grill 445 (https://www.grill445.com/) that has a pretty good craft beer selection that I think I think you’d enjoy. They also do Margarita flights which I found to be quite enjoyable though I have to admit that I enjoyed my beer flight there just a few nights prior to the Margarita flight! The food is also quite good, staff is excellent and the ambiance is quite nice. I’ve only been there twice (and it was twice in the same week!) but I wouldn’t hesitate to go again!

Grrr .. I don’t think I think you’d enjoy it, I definitely think you’d enjoy it but clearly I don’t proofread very well!
