Quiet Connecticut

There just wasn't enough space to get in all of the beauty and wonder of Connecticut. Or all of my love for it

I didn't talk about The Stone House in Guilford, the Oyster Club in Mystic or the Water Street Cafe in Stonington. About Harkness in Waterford or Bill's in Westbrook, and veering off the coast to glorious Essex wasn't part of the plan, no matter how much it's in my heart. I spared everyone my memories of living on the beaches in Niantic, of devouring Dairy Queen, of cruising Ocean Beach in New London. It's a tiny slice of heaven, and I could go on and on...

But I'm thankful I had the opportunity to share just a taste of the charms and loveliness of southeastern Connecticut for the Times. Connecticut home pride!

  4. It would have been laudable if you had managed to find even one place that Jane and Michael Stern have not been writing about for years in Roadfood. Alan Richman and Pepes? huh?
