(Is this really her name or some kind of snooty pen name. At least she is not Mary Alice Rockefeller)
You may have wondered why some people feel moved to put whales and lobsters all over their clothing, why for them a certain faded shade of raspberry sherbet seems an all-purpose palette for shirts, shorts, jackets and ball caps, why Top-Siders and Patagonias are de rigueur, just as socks in almost any weather are not. And if that’s what you’ve wondered, you’ve come to the right avenue to make some observations.
Start humming the fight song of Choate or Deerfield or any other of America’s most elite prep schools, and there’s a good chance that someone on Greenwich Avenue will start humming it, too. We’re not really recommending that; we just want you to know that if you wish to immerse yourself in a preppy Promised Land, everything you need is here.
To call it a “bedroom” community of New York (a 37-minute train ride away) is an understatement; Greenwich is more of a bastion of Old Money and lots of New—more than $120 billion of the world’s hedge funds are managed here.
And it would be easy to write Greenwich off as stuffy; after all, this was the filming location for the remake of The Stepford Wives. But the village boasts charm and tradition among the grand homes and estates, with a thriving cultural scene, camera-ready countryside and four pristine beaches on Long Island Sound.

Comment:
Stepford Wives was filed where?
Would someone please tell Ms. Mary Alice Kellogg that Mary Alice Kellogg that the film was shot in Darien And New Canaan.
What makes Ms. Mary Alice Kellogg in Greenwich in noway wants to be associated with this remake flop.
This film was notorious for the numerous production problems that occurred throughout its shooting schedule. The tension started when both John Cusack and Joan Cusack, originally slated to star in supporting roles, pulled out of the project and were replaced by Matthew Broderick and Bette Midler, respectively. After filming was initially completed, several changes were made to the new script, which created a number of plot holes, and the cast was called back for reshoots. Reports of problems onset between director Frank Oz and stars Nicole Kidman and Bette Midler were rampant in the press. Kidman was reportedly so dissatisfied with the new screenplay that she considered pulling out of the project. In recent interviews, Kidman, Matthew Broderick and producer Scott Rudin have all expressed regret for participating in this project.
In an interview with Ain't It Cool, Frank Oz's take on the film was "I f**ked up... I had too much money, and I was too responsible and concerned for Paramount. I was too concerned for the producers. And I didn't follow my instincts."
Anyway, if you have some free time you can launch Delta's interactive map, and hope that it is more accurate than their feature story.

Actually, you're both correct about The Stepford Wives. The house they lived in was in Darien, CT, but many of the outdoor shots were filmed in Greenwich. All the actors stayed here in Greenwich, too.
My apologies to Ms.Mary Alice Kellogg.
