Area Guide

Share Guide

The centrally-located neighborhood known as the Hollow puts you within walking distance of downtown Bridgeport, which sits half a mile east. Cultural entertainment and nightlife abound, making it easy to catch a play or live music on a whim.

Pick up a meaty Brazilian feast at Pantanal on Frank Street, and enjoy your meal while watching renditions of "Hairspray" or "Frosty the Snowman" at Downtown Cabaret Theatre, a BYO venue on Golden Hill Street. Every year, creative minds gather at the nearby city center for the Bridgeport Arts Fest.

Once a haven for Bridgeport's industrial workforce, the Hollow's dense residential streets contain remnants of 19th-century architecture, ranging from Federal to Gothic to Greek Revival. The Hollow houses the city's oldest urban neighborhood, Sterling Hill Historic District, where buildings dating as far back as the 1820s now serve as multi-unit rental apartments.
