Where Would You Go for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner in Newtown?

We asked Facebook fans to make the call -- now, what do you think?

 

The (purely hypothetical) question:

"Say one day you were going out to eat for each meal in Newtown -- breakfast, lunch and dinner. Where would you go for each?"

Newtown Patch posed the query Tuesday afternoon on our Facebook page. (For simplicity's sake, imagine money were no object.) Over the next few hours, more than 50 residents responded with their own choices.

Fans named dozens of local eateries. The clear favorite for breakfast? The ever-popular King's Breakfast & Lunch. As one commenter on their Patch directory said, "When the kids or family come to town they always say 'lets meet at Kings.'" Of the commenters, twenty -- nearly half -- chose King's for breakfast. A few even chose it for both breakfast and lunch. Sandy Hook Diner and Blue Colony also got love from commenters.

For lunch and dinner, suggestions varied wildly. Sushi at Toro (or pizza at My Place) was the perfect lunch for some, and the perfect dinner for others. Newtown Deli was a popular lunch choice, and many favored Fig's for dinner. Other favorites: Mexicali Rose, General Store, Pub 25, Bagel Delight and many others. (To see more favorites, head to Newtown Patch's Facebook page.)

So there you go -- if you decided to go all-out and take the challenge, you could spend a day (or two, or three) on the town checking out your neighbors' recommendations. Sure, the "restauraunt tour" might take a bite out of your wallet, but you'd come away as a bona fide master of Newtown dining.

As for what you'd do after that eventful day? One reader had a suggestion: "Next question should be, 'After eating all that, which gym in Newtown would you go to?'"

Didn't see your favorite Newtown restaurants among these? Head to the comments and let us know where you'd go for your breakfast, lunch and dinner in Newtown!

What??? Not even an honorable mention for the ever popular: MY PLACE? Shame.

Hey Dolores, don't worry -- we noted My Place as a popular choice for lunch, and a lot of commenters mentioned it too!

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.
