He also owns tomato tomato so I got high hopes that he’ll last longer than the rest of the spots

Would be nice to see a grocery market in downtown. Will probably just be another mediocre restaurant though

I live in ASW, moved April 2022 from next door (Atlantic Station). Overall I do like the building, the amenities are nice, and for summer time they open up the doors for the indoor pool. Great spot overall for the summer and decent amenities for winter. Cleaning staff is great, gym has what I need, and you can't really get closer proximity to the train station (~5 min walk ). They do a few small events per month that have free drinks and food. Haven't really had any maintenance issues. If looking for a room, choose one that is facing further south so that you get a good amount of sun/view (facing south meaning towards west stamford/95, or where the 6th floor patio is below you.
Annoyances are mostly garage parking fees ($125 for first car, $175 EXTRA for a second spot) and the fact that while this is a pet-friendly building, a lot of the owners are lazy and have their dog just pee right out the front doors so the cobblestone driveway always seems to have that going on. Parking garage can also be a little bit of a pain because most spots are designed for smaller than SUVs, but you can always get a spot.
FWIW - My renewal is up in the summer and unless a big increase happens then I plan on staying here.

That doesn’t make a lick of sense. It’s a construction zone

There's a city garage on Summer Street not even 100 feet from the building, you don't have to go to target. It's $80 a month for a spot.

A fantastic answer by the time I got done walking the dog. This is why I love Reddit. Thanks ruthless!

They are gutting the restaurant and rebuilding it completely which is messy work, the windows are likely to be damaged in the process. It only takes a month or two usually. I'm not sure what the alternative is to boarding the windows temporarily while they do the work.

It's a new restaurant, owned by the same guy who owns Kouzina (the Greek place) a few doors down among some other restaurants. It hasn't got a name officially yet but will probably be good - the owner seems to know what he's doing.
They have an Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/officialrestaurantunknown/) which suggests the name might be "Ricano" and the focus might be cocktails/provisions.

Hopefully something good. The last place that was there was okayish

Hopefully not another restaurant that will end up closing :( idk why that spot is such a revolving door.

What an eyesore. Seems like there should be a rule on street side construction coverings.
Edit: I understand this is a very “karen” take, but you could at least spray paint the plywood so it doesn’t look like an abandoned building.

Make sure you ask if parking is available at 66 summer street. Most apartments on that block provide one parking spot per unit if you are lucky. I know people that have to rent out a monthly spot in the target parking lot

I know someone in Atlantic Station West. Pricey yes but very nice amenities, the gym is awesome and the lobby is fancy. Units have lots of glass (with small window opening section only), nice and modern layout but not the biggest square footage and kitchens are only OK. Also lots of dogs in the building, if you care about that.

66 Summer is not exempt from this concern but Atlantic Station West will have some form of construction directly next to it for the forseeable future. Across Tresser you have The Smyth finishing up, another development directly next to it, the lot south of you where Dogtopia is has pending approvals for construction, the parking lot next to KPMG is also supposed to be another massive apartment building. That's without considering the two remaining St. John's Towers which will almost certainly be demo'd and replaced within the next 10 years. 66 Summer will be loud for other reasons, but you won't get the blinding lights and daytime construction noise.
Purely anecdotal, I know one guy who lives in 66 Summer and he's very happy with it. Don't know anyone at Atlantic West.
