Relocating to Stamford CT in a few months. Any suggestions on the area- food, nice places to explore on weekends, etc? Also looking for an apartment (1br/studio, max base rent ~1,500) if anyone has rented there!

For a nice 1 bedroom it may around 2k. Be sure to check out elm street diner! I lived in Norwalk for a year which is close by and the area is really nice. Downtown Stamford has a bunch of fun places.
