Stamford at a Glance
Known asConnecticut's corporate powerhouse on the Gold Coast — Fortune 500 towers, a buzzing restaurant scene and an express train under an hour from Manhattan

Local pride: Stamford's skyline hides two pop-culture landmarks: WWE's global headquarters (wrestling has been run from Stamford since the 1980s) and the "Fish Church" — First Presbyterian, built in 1958 and shaped, inside and out, like a giant fish with walls of stained glass. It's on the National Register and genuinely worth stepping inside.
