Did you know about this handcrafted drink spot in downtown Naugatuck? 🥤✨

Welcome to Mercado & Sips! Owner Coralys started out selling custom tumblers at craft fairs, then came up with the idea of selling dirty sodas. It was such a hit, she was ready to launch her dream storefront right on Church Street.

They specialize in customizable dirty sodas, loaded teas, wellness boosts, and even local baked goods! 🍪

We tried their signature lineup: starting with the classic Orange Creamsicle and the tropical Coconut Dream, followed by the Coconut Breeze, Berry Bliss, their signature Yoo-hoo with cold foam, and their Strawberry Lemonade! 🍓🍋

Come grab a sip, support local, and make Naugatuck your next destination! 📍

Did you know about this award-winning Thai restaurant in downtown Naugatuck? 🇹🇭✨

Welcome to Chiangmai, recently named the top Thai restaurant in New Haven County!

To start, their curry puffs blew us away. Their classic Pad Thai is easily some of the best we’ve ever had, and you can’t leave without trying the fresh mango sticky rice. 🥭

Beyond the insane food, what makes this spot so special is the owner, Kanchana, and her husband. After running a hand-weaving fabric business in Thailand, Kanchana moved to the States in 2007. With hard work, in 2013 her dream came true: opening Chiangmai.

She redesigned the restaurant to feel like a cozy slice of home, bringing authentic Thai culture and comfort to the borough for over 13 years.

Come take a seat, experience the great culture and fresh Thai cuisine, and make Naugatuck your next destination!
