“Base Camp Parenting is the book every worried parent needs.” – Mel Robbins, New York Times bestselling author and host of The Mel Robbins PodcastRelentless worry is currently the norm for parents- it is often worn like a badge of honor. While concern about important issues is certainly beneficial, worrying about them is not. But, worrying can be a hard habit to break, even though it often causes added stress and anxiety in the home.In Base Camp Parenting: Worry Less to Help Your Kids More, Susan Bauerfeld and Chris Parrott give parents the tools necessary to shift away from worrying. They discuss the adverse impact of parental worrying on “Base Camp”–the environment in which children are raised–and show how shifting attention away from worried thinking is crucial to overall health and well-being. In addition, they provide parents with an easy-to-implement four-step process that leaves families calmer, more connected, and better prepared to handle situations as they arise. By following this process, parents model how best to cope with the stress and anxiety of everyday life, leading their children to become more resilient, capable, and healthy.Join authors Dr Susan Bauerfeld and Chris Parrott for an evening filled with humor, insight, and compassion. Bring your worries, share them, and then leave them in the theatre bins as you return home. When you worry less, you can cope more and build a happier, healthier home.Susan Bauerfeld, PhD, is a licensed clinical psychologist, IFS therapist, speaker, parent consultant/coach, and ADHD coach. She offers workshops and presentations on managing challenges related to anxiety, child-rearing, learning differences, and technology. She lives in Norwalk, Connecticut.Chris Parrott, CPsychol, is a British Psychological Society Chartered Counseling Psychologist and a board-certified coach. In her private coaching practice, she specializes in working with emerging adults and parents. She is also the co-author of Reach Before You Teach: Ignite Passion and Purpose in Your Classroom and Doing Therapy Briefly. Parrott resides in Bedford, New York.

A NEW ERA BEGINS FOR THE MARINER TAVERN — 
OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK FOR LUNCH/BRUNCH + DINNER
Chef/Owner Shannon Sturz Unveils Elevated French-American Cuisine, Beautifully Reimagined Interiors and Seven-Day Dining, Including Lunch, Weekend Brunch and Dinner
RIDGEFIELD, Conn. — A beloved Ridgefield dining institution is entering a new chapter. The Mariner Tavern, formerly known as The Ancient Mariner, has reopened under Chef/Owner Shannon Sturz with elevated yet approachable French-American cuisine, beautifully reimagined interiors and a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere. Now open seven days a week for lunch, weekend brunch and dinner, The Mariner offers something for every occasion, from a casual midday meal to a celebratory evening out.
“The Mariner has meant something to this community for more than 50 years, and I didn't want to come in and erase that history,” said Sturz. “I wanted to respect what generations of people have loved about this place while giving them a new reason to walk through the door. It should still feel like The Mariner—just a new chapter of it.”
Drawing on French and American culinary traditions, Chef Sturz pairs classic tavern favorites with refined technique, premium ingredients and modern presentation. His philosophy is simple: source exceptional ingredients, prepare them thoughtfully and let the food speak for itself. A hands-on chef, Sturz personally sources ingredients, from selecting fresh seafood at the fish market to working with trusted purveyors and seeking out the best seasonal produce. The result is a menu that balances familiar comfort food with more sophisticated offerings, equally suited to a quick lunch, leisurely brunch, family dinner or special occasion.
Menu highlights: Tuna Tartare, Firecracker Cauliflower, Mussels, New England Clam Chowder, Kale Salad, The Mariner Burger, Hot and Cold Lobster Rolls, Filet Mignon with Peppercorn Demi-Glace, Chicken Milanese with Arugula, Steak Frites, Miso-Glazed Cod and Scallops with Celeriac Purée. Desserts include Sticky Toffee Pudding and Linden Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches (Linden’s Cookies is a Sturz family business).
A Fresh Look, Rooted in History
Beyond the kitchen, Sturz partnered with acclaimed Connecticut interior designer Christian P. Arkay-Leliever, whose work includes Elm in New Canaan and Esh Mediterranean in Fairfield, to refresh The Mariner while honoring its history. Inspired by Sturz's love of the ocean and mountains, the design blends maritime character with alpine-lodge warmth and sophistication.
The intimate tavern features blonde wide-plank flooring, a honey-toned L-shaped bar, chocolate leather seating, a pressed-copper tin ceiling and dark sea-green shiplap. An antique ship's wheel and a hand-carved wooden fish Sturz found at a tag sale playfully recall its maritime heritage. The lighter, more relaxed dining room evokes a refined mountain retreat with cream walls, plaid banquettes and rich brown leather upholstery. Seating 60 in the dining room and 21 at the bar, The Mariner combines a lively neighborhood tavern with an inviting destination for an exceptional meal.
Seven-Day Dining for Every Occasion
Guests can enjoy weekday lunch, weekend brunch with friends and family, bar cocktails or dinner any night. For Sturz, The Mariner's community role matters as much as its food.
Sturz sees restaurants as places to meet friends, celebrate birthdays, dine with family or unwind after a long day. He wants The Mariner to be Ridgefield's welcoming gathering place, where guests can count on a great meal and return often.
Hours
The Mariner Tavern opens daily at 451 Main Street, Ridgefield, Connecticut.
