Let's be realistic. The majority of Bridgeport is pretty dumpy. That said, the part that borders Stratfield is pretty nice. It just happens to be a small area of a problem city. Even the "nice" neighborhoods in north Bridgeport that border Trumbull aren't exactly attractive.

Uh... being a bit snobby aren't we? There is nothing wrong with the North End. It may not be upscale and shiny new but what is wrong with that? I suppose you think Black Rock is dumpy too. If you look at a map of Bridgeport you will see that the majority of the city is not run down at least by my standards. As my father always said "Just because it is not new, does not mean it is no good". Jay

Phenomenal foods,...on Main st.

I was just talking to my wife about Coyote Flaco last week... we drove by it on the way to the Brick Oven pizza place on Capital Ave (which, by the way, was really good). Glad to hear that the food is good. Haven't been to Sorrento's, but with A&S on Black Rock just 2 minutes from my house, I can't look anywhere else...
