The former Enfield Dairy Bar, previously known as Cimino s, on South Rd. in Enfield. (Pam (Cimino) Schweitzer)
ENFIELD, CT After trying for a very long time, I finally acquired a photo of one of my favorite places to go in Enfield during the 1970s: Enfield Dairy Bar on South Road. Thank you to Pam (Cimino) Schweitzer for sending us the picture of her father s business, which featured the best ice cream and sandwiches in town (and anyone who has seen my physique knows I know a lot about dining spots in town).
Brothers Joseph and John Cimino and their cousin Francis Cimino started the restaurant at 182 South Road in 1965; in fact, veteran residents of Enfield still refer to it as Cimino s.
Tune in to the Creative People in Florence s Facebook page , or alternatively via Zoom, for what s sure to be a fascinating peek inside three bottegas in the Oltrarno. Co-founders of CPiF, Anna Rose and Sara Amrhein will speak with Officine Nora, Campucc10 and Frau Leman, in collaboration with The British Institute of Florence, Advancing Women Artists and Residenza d Arte il Palmerino for their Oltrarno Gaze project. Step into these studios virtually, for a look at their work and crafts, as well as taking advantage of the chance to submit any questions you ve ever wanted to ask about being an artisan in Florence. Topics include what it means to be contemporary artisan in Florence, and how tradition can be renewed to create the future of Florence.
