DISTEFANO FAMILY DENTISTRY OFFERS HIGH-TECH CARE IN A FRIENDLY SETTING
If you've ever had the chance to meet Dr. John DiStefano or Dr. Nick DiStefano, you know that they radiate a certain kindness and energy that's infectious. The father-son duo own DiStefano Family Dentistry and recently opened a brand new, stunning building on Sycamore Street. Fun story alert: Dr. John was working at Raffa's while in dental school when a few of his customers (who were dentists) encouraged him to open his own practice in Glastonbury. So he did. A true, from-the-ground-up story of success. Decades later, they have come full circle with the addition of Dr. Nick. The two have worked together to build a practice that offers the best dental technology the field has to offer (ZOOM whitening, CEREC same day crowns, 3D scanning for guided implant surgery and root canals...they can see the nerves before they start). To make an appointment, call 860.308.1777 and tell them we sent you.
Plus, don't miss our VIDEO FEATURE with them COMING THIS JUNE!

BELGIAN WAFFLE CAFE OPENING FIRST CT LOCATION
We think this is pretty cool and were excited to break this story last week on CT LIVE on NBC CT. There is a new belgian waffle cafe coming to the plaza with One Stop Spirit Shop and Bicycles East. Zinneken's Waffles has two locations in Massachusetts. A husband and wife from Farmington will open the first CT location right here in town. This place is the real deal! All of the ingredients are imported straight from Belgium. The original founders are Belgian and have crafted a centuries-old recipe to create their delicious offerings: LIEGE (soft and chewy) or BRUSSELS (light and crispy) waffles with all kinds of decadent toppings...can we say YUM??? Build out of the space begins soon and they hope to be open by the summer.
FABLETICS STORE COMING TO WESTFARMS
We are pretty psyched about this...Fabletics is opening their first Connecticut store at Westfarms! (SAY WHAT?!) The athletic wear retailer was mainly online until 2015 when they began opening stores worldwide. Founded by actress, Kate Hudson in 2013, Fabletics offers workout gear for ALL. With bright colors, beautiful designs, and features like their stay-put waistband (NEED!), we think this will be a regular stop for us! The Westfarms store is expected to open this summer.
