Has anyone managed to find a way to park in Greenwich without 45 minutes of trying to find a spot?

From article:

Lesley Groff, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime executive assistant, scheduled "massages" and coordinated dozens of flights around the world for victims of the disgraced convicted sex trafficker, recently released Department of Justice documents show.

But it remains unknown whether the Connecticut resident knew about Epstein's sexual assaults, which one victim said once happened just on the other side of a closed door from where Groff was working.

Can you please share your experience on what current hourly rates are for nannies in Greenwich (and whether that’s for 1 or 2 kids)? Any suggestions on finding a nanny if we are new / don’t have any ties to the area? I assume local parents’ groups might be a good resource. If I’ll only be going back to work part time – would it be that much harder to find a part-time nanny in a place like Greenwich? (I’ve just heard that most nannies everywhere prefer a full-time role so finding a good person on a part-time basis can be harder). Thank you!

Hi all! Not sure if this sub is the best place to ask this, but we are considering a move to Greenwich, and I’m wondering what the young mom community is like? I’m pregnant with our first, and I really want to be somewhere that has a thriving young mom community. What is that like in Greenwich? We have looked elsewhere in Westchester and found that the majority of parents are dual income and have a nanny, which is not the environment we are personally looking for. Are people open to expanding their friend groups, genuine, sincere, inclusive? Or do they stick to themselves and their family and friends they’ve had for way longer? We are not from the northeast and have no “old friends” or family up here, so this is really important to us.

Bonus question: is it a stupid time to buy a house in Greenwich right now? Do people think prices will come down at all over the next few years?

I know I’m late to thinking about this, but I just moved to the area….is there a pretty sunny restaurant you can recommend for Mother’s Day brunch? If it’s not pretty and sunny but possibly available- that’d be welcome too.
