"Aside from being one of the city’s best slashies (a bar-liquor store combo), Maria’s Packaged Goods has one of our favorite patios in Bridgeport. There’s plenty of room, so it’s great for spontaneous group hangs while sipping a spicy house margarita or any of their unique seasonal concoctions. Plus, if anyone gets hungry, you can always visit Kimski next door and bring over a bulgogi cheesesteak, a housemade polish topped with a kimchi-sauerkraut hybrid, and other Korean-Polish dishes." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, john ringor
