The Woman’s Club of Greenwich is sponsoring a house tour featuring some of Greenwich’s outstanding homes to benefit the All-Seasons garden currently on the drawing board at Nathaniel Witherell. First Selectman Peter Tesei recently called for the block grant money to be reallocated to benefit the program. Members of the Woman’s Club say this provides them an opportunity to augment these funds to assure success for the development of the garden.

Jenny Lawton is still in. Arcadia Coffee Company, in name only, is out.
Ms. Lawton’s Old Greenwich coffee house, which first opened in the early 1990s, has been renovated and revamped following an ownership shake-up, and will re-open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 6.
Now known as Arcadia Café, the shop will continue to be owned by Ms. Lawton, who bought the store in 2004, but will be co-owned with business partners, Amy and Rob Guerrieri, owners of The Upper Crust Bagel Company and LexZee Gourmet and Catering, also in Old Greenwich. The new Arcadia boasts a new menu, paint scheme and event schedule. The store, on Arcadia Road in Old Greenwich, closed during August to accomodate its redesign.
“It will give a fresh look to the same thing,” Ms. Lawton told the Post today of the business’s redesign, “good food and a good community environment.”
Ms. Lawton who, until this year, owned both Arcadia Coffee Company and its neighbor, Just Books, told the Post in March that stressed economic times and other factors made her unable to subsidize the two stores the way she had been. When news broke that she was in trouble, Ms. Lawton said Riverside resident and frequent Arcadia customer Nick Barile of York Construction and Development put together a group of business people and potential investors to figure out how to save Ms. Lawton’s stores. Enter the Guerrieris....
...Just Books was sold to former Greenwich resident Marion Boucher Holmes in July. It also received a makeover since coming under new ownership, and will also re-open tomorrow.
