Westport is something of a celebrity town, with longtime residents Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward adding some Hollywood glamour, and convicted felon Martha Stewart injecting a dangerous gangster element into the town that makes it very edgy. Actually as you can see the pre-convict Martha had a much stronger influence on the town. This is Main Street, across the river from our hotel, housing a long line of Brooks Brothers, Ann Taylors and Talbots with a couple of decent restaurants thrown in.
