Greenwich's title, "The Gateway to New England" is an apt description. The town is situated on the Long Island Sound, just north of the New York border.

Greenwich's close proximity to Manhattan has made it an attractive spot for commuters, vacationers, and corporate headquarters as well.

In the 19th century, railroads brought these two dissimilar cities closer together, and after I-95 was built in 1957, getting back and forth was easier than ever before.

Greenwich is an engaging blend of small-town suburbia and stately sophistication. This Southern Connecticut destination makes for an accessible day trip, but people looking to spend a weekend won't have trouble filling their days. And the best part is that you'll be smack dab in downtown Greenwich, a mere 45 minutes after leaving Grand Central Station.
