Note to my dear readers...

Since the inception of this blog, f is for foodie has mainly focused on the New York City dining scene (the occasionally European trips and out of state jaunts notwithstanding).

Hold on to your laptops but Ms. Foodie has left Manhattan and relocated to suburbia; the Hartford area to be exact. I have accepted a great job in a state better known for it's sky high gas prices than it's gastronomy.

The hardest part about leaving New York was all the great meals I'll be missing out on. Seriously. It was on my list of reasons NOT to take this new position.

Perhaps it will make my many trips back to the Big Apple that much more meaningful. Who knows? What I do know is that I have not been able to pick up the Dining Section of The New York Times since I've left. I just might sob uncontrollably.

Not to say that a good if not great meal can be found in the Constitution State. On a pre-move trip, RRR and I had some lovely meals at Trumbull Kitchen in Hartford as well as Rizzuto's and Max's Oyster Bar in West Hartford Center. And I've only begun to scratch the surface of what appears to be a burgeoning dining scene so expect the focus of the blog to become a bit more Connecticut based when I am not traveling. It also might be a bit light until I settle into my permanent digs, so please bear with me.

Also, please use this opportunity to submit some guest reviews to my foodie email link. I'd love to hear what I'm missing out on!
