CTMQ’s Guide to Danbury

3 Comments

Everything Danbury

I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Danbury CTMQ-style… as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. After all, that is the ultimate goal of CTMQ.

What do you know about the city which is most famous for making a lot of hats back in the day? You can scroll down for my list of things to do in town. Or, as always, you can click on the town’s tag to see what I’ve done.

If I’ve missed anything in town or if anything has closed or changed, please let me know.

    “Texas Hot Wieners” at JKs, or just “weiners”, not red hots.

    Love it when I go to comment on what I think is an inaccuracy, and I already have!
