Enjoy Breakfast Courtesy of Seramonte Apartments
Posted by: | Comments
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It gives you the energy and fuel to kick off the day and is the right formula for a productive morning. Unfortunately, it is also the most commonly skipped meal as people prefer to get an extra 15 minutes of sleep and are rushing out the door without time to prepare or consume a hearty breakfast in order to make it to work, school or other morning appointments on time. So, next Tuesday, March 9th, Seramonte apartments is ensuring their residents start the day off right by providing a complimentary breakfast.
From 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., representatives of the Hamden apartments will be at the guard shack distributing breakfasts on-the-go for those that need to get a move on, but for anyone that can take some extra time to sit and enjoy breakfast, head to the leasing center from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. We’ll have a spread of different breakfast items as well as refreshments.

The best restaurants in Hamden for Valentine’s Day dining
Posted by: | Comments
Looking for ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day in Hamden this year? We’ve got some great suggestions! First, you may want to impress your valentine with a bit of history on this holiday: One legend contends that St. Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage for young men - his crop of potential soldiers - Valentine defied this unjust decree and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. It is believed that while Valentine was in prison, he fell in love with a young girl - who may have been his jailer’s daughter - who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed ‘From your Valentine,’ an expression that is still in use today.
