Wallingford Farmers Market has been recognized as one of the best farmers markets in the state. One of the many great reasons to live in Wallingford (and perhaps my favorite) is this seasonal farmers market. I look forward to Wednesdays for a little walk to Meridian Playground, 4920 Meridian Avenue N, never knowing what I might find: running into friends and neighbors, buying produce for the week, or finding a delicious meal for dinner at one of the many food stalls.…

I love grand reopenings of any kind—they celebrate something new while honoring what has come before. When I moved to Wallingford three years ago, I volunteered for a year at the FamilyWorks Wallingford Food Bank and saw firsthand how the staff worked in a very tight space to provide food to the community, both in person and through delivery. I also volunteered with their diaper program, which is deeply needed and always appreciated by families. During my time there, I met…

Three months after the iconic Kate’s Pub shut its doors on October 31, the neighborhood staple is back to life. Donning a new look and fresh menu, The Rebel is keeping the legacy alive on 45th Street. In January, neighbors may have noticed a new coat of bright teal paint go up over the formerly yellow storefront at 309 NE 45th Street. Soon after, Kate’s owner Kate Barrett announced in a Facebook post that Stephanie Kosmas (a former Kate’s bartender) would…
