Wonderful historic town green surrounded by great shops and restaurants. It is a common place to gather or sit and relax.

Excellent food and attentive and friendly service. Differentiator is the menu offers nice variety with some dishes that arent run of the mill offerings. Only gave 4 stars because during non-COVID times bad indoor acoustics make it hard to hear.

Sat on a bench under the trees on a Sunday, sipping delicious iced coffee from Cilantros, just watching the world. Beautiful sunny morning, with blue skies and green grass. Friendly folks walking their dogs. There were gorgeous convertibles out for a drive, and so many cyclists. Heavenly, simply heavenly.

The Guilford Green is one of the most known and iconic places in the town. The green is very cool and well maintained itself and is spacious. Theres lots of local business to check out on the edge of the green. Its a great place to spend the day with a family. The statue in the middle looks great and is historic. The green has many good examples of a classic New England scenic town. For tourists checking out New England and the shoreline stop here! Or if your just passing through Guilford definitely stop by and spend some time here.

They had a lot of craters there with beautiful crafts. Some them seamed to be very high priced but others had quality art. The kicker was they they had also charged for admission of $9.00 for adults unless your a senior it was $7.00. If you parked at the church it cost you another $5.00 since most vendors took up the public parking around the green. It could be an expensive day if you were just window shopping.

Fell in love with my husband on the Guilford Green. It is always lovely with adorable shops and yummy restaurants. It us especially magical at Christmas time.

The Guilford Town Green is a great place to gather in a group, walk your dog, or get some exercise in. There are ample sidewalks for walking and benches for relaxing and a whole bunch of trees which create a nice calming and relaxing environment. There are also shops right across the way for shopping, grabbing a cup of coffee, or dining.

Beautiful square surrounded by cute local shops and the town library. Perfect for a picnic

Such a clean and friendly place. Went to town hall seeking info about my family history. We lucked out and the town historian was there. I told him that one of the founders of the town and 1st Governor of the colony of CT was my 9th Great-Grandfather and he seemed genuinely interested in talking to me. He gave us tips on where to get more info...very nice guy! Talked to other locals and all were so friendly. Loved it!

Good place to have a picnic but there aren’t many restaurants nearby

Great place to visit and social distance. Quite a few people just visiting with others.

Lovely park to walk around and get lunch and enjoy the outdoors

Guildford is actually the home of my Yankee soul. Its a perfect slice of New England.

Loveliest town and people in the area.

Lovely town green with several cute shops and places to eat.

Quiet plenty of pathways to get your steps in wonderfully shaded short walk to refreshments

Ive lived CT since the mid 60s and still enjoy a trip to Gilford to enjoy a walk around the green, lunch, and a visit to the bookstore or bakery. Unfortunately. During COVID19 some restaurants do not open until 4 but we were able to find lunch at the local pizza shop. The hardware store is great even if its just to take a walk thru to see the inventory.

Great open space. People seem to take social distancing seriously.

A lot of history here that we living in California dont get to see so it was very interesting

Nice place to relax and enjoy the outdoors

A remarkable NEW England green, preserved and protected by an aware citizenry. Often called the most beautiful green in New England. Complete with white steepled church and colonial era houses, wonderful oak trees and small shops.New England at its best!

Pretty Town Green for walking or reading a book in the summer. The shops surrounding it are quaint and lovely (Toy store with toys that use the imagination, a chocolate shop, hot dog cart < Very tasty, several boutiques etc). Once you peruse through (took us about an hour or so), except having lunch, thats that. I visited at the end of Fall; very pretty. Thinking of visiting during the other seasons too. Perhaps they have more going on then??? Will be fun to find out. Overall, definitely worth a Saturday or Sunday drive to.

I love the Market Place. So many small shops and restaurants

Great place with many benches and friendly people & dogs!

Lovely. A great place to stroll. Most folks wearing masks and those who whose to ignore other folks health were result avoided.

The Guilford green is always fun !

Great place to eat lunch or just hang out.

One of New Englands most majestic Greens. Great place for meeting friends, strolling, enjoying special events held on it like concerts and fairs and community events.

Only good place is the Emporium

Beautiful Green one of the best in the state.

This is always been a really great place to just hang out and have fun its specially during the summer season. I always look forward to their music on the green every year we catch at least 1 or 2 concerts of live music. Safe place to take your kids as well.

A beautiful public space surrounded by historic shops, homes and churches.

Hamlet on the green was a superb production. The set was beautiful and actors were great. A wonderful evening. Plenty of parking around the green.

Great little place in historic Guilford. Lots of little shops and places to eats. Its our favorite place to go when we visit.

Get this.. if you can find a home on Guilford Lakes you wont regret I lived 1 block from the beaches who was better than me I guess by now you know what I mean

Great walking place very charming

Guilford is a quintessential New England town, and the Green is at the center of it all. Large, filled with old trees with a Union soldier standing guard in the center, it continues to be a popular meeting and recreation area for townies and visitors alike.There are plenty of shops and good restaurants bordering the Green (I recommend Ballous Wine Bar, set back, near the Catholic Church) The Public Library also borders the Green. Guilford is well woth a visit. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Classic New England Town Green! Very friendly place with numerous shops and cafe/restaurants surrounding!

A classic New England village green.

Wonderful and friendly people. Very quaint.

Beautiful New England green with lots of history and monuments.

It was own first time. Fun. Different. Wish the big kids had more respect for the little ones.....

Same...more 200 year old trees being marked for takedown...trash cans always overfull..Lots of bald grass areas...It is going down hill..used to be Beautiful..The EXPERTS that care for trees etc have no clue...need to hire ANOTHER CONSULANT..That seems to be what Guilfords legacy is headed...Does the grass need cutting?? We better hire a consultant for 50,000 bucks,,by the time they give a report..the grass WILL turn into hayproblem solved:)

Best town green in New England. Not just my opinion.

Art show was nice.Very professional event.

Classic New England green, great skis and architecture

The most lovely town green in New England, Guilfords Green is a true treasure. It hosts park land, community space, municipal buildings, a shopping district, and churches. The Green is the beating heart of the town of Guilford.

Great place for an evening Summer concert.

Perfection!

Guilford is a great friendly town with great shopping.

Real New England town green. Great place to walk the dog and chat with the locals.

Shakespeare on the Guilford green tonight. Wonderful night of Hamlet under the stars. Its there every summer and well worth going.

Wonderful Historic New England Green. The anchor monument is a Civil War Memorial with a Union Soldier Statue and the name of residents who died in the war. Many of those families still live in town.

This is my old stomping ground! Grew up in Guilford, just moved back! The green hasnt changed one bit. Its just as beautiful as when I was a child.

Most beautiful town green in Connecticut

Prettiest green in New England.

Best town center in New England

Its my former stay place.

Lovely town beautiful

Lovely green space in the town center.

Historic walk, beautiful green, access to shops around the green.

The green and the shops and restaurants/coffee shops around are among the best features of Guildford. Actually, it was one of the reasons why we moved here.

A great place to walk around. A lot of places to grab a quick bite to eat to keep you fueled as you wander the cute (but pricey) shops.

This is a great area to relax outside. Plenty of benches and trees for share. It is also centrally located to many restaurants and local shops.There is a food truck that frequents the area as well. From what I hear it is pretty good.

Picturesque New England town green.

Very fun and uplifting atmosphere.

Very nice area, lots of great little shops.

Best town green on the shoreline

Great venue for the free summer concerts and central to stores and restaurants
