Friends of Coventry Village

Come in the morning and it’s quiet. People are walking dogs, grabbing a cup of coffee or a home-cooked breakfast. Or, they’re doing their chores, meeting with the experts at the hardware store, chatting with the regulars at the dry cleaners or stopping by the bank.

Visit in the afternoon and it’s coming alive. Restauranteurs are serving everything from thick milkshakes and vegetarian specialties to Mexican, Indian and Asian cuisine. All are demonstrating their culinary skills. Shops with imported goods, unique cards and posters and retro “finds” are welcoming regulars and newcomers.

By evening it’s a place for dinner and entertainment. People watchers delight as students, artists, musicians and locals mingle, filling restaurants, nightclubs and bars with the sounds of the night.

Some days Coventry feels like Main Street U.S.A. Other days it’s a college town. Sometimes it feels like a destination for a school field trip. Other days it feels like a place to hang out with your family and friends. Everyday it’s a unique experience.
