Family Review: Jersey Mike’s
About once a month, my family of seven orders takeout from a local CT eatery. We sit together, eating and talking about the day. This moment of bonding seems to only come at mealtimes, and it is easier when none of us have done the cooking. This month, we decided to try Jersey Mike’s in Wilton (35 Danbury Rd, Wilton, CT 06897) for our family takeout night, and it didn’t disappoint!
