SoNo Brewhouse (Closed)
So, No They Don’t Brew Beer Here SoNo Brewhouse, South Norwalk Multiple Visits SoNo Brewhouse closed in 2014. I have a love-hate relationship with the SoNo Brewhouse.

Griffin Farmstead
I Wonder What Gryphon Milk is Like Griffin Farmstead, East Granby June 4, 2011 Talk about confusing. The one thing I’m sure of is that this place is indeed called Griffin Farmstead.

Zip’s Diner
Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip’s Diner, Killingly July 2011 I realize that these very few and far between classic diner posts may just look like an excuse to post even more pictures of Damian.

Dreamery Creamery Collins Creamery, Enfield September 2010 Collins Creamery deserves a revisit and rewrite someday. Of all the ice cream places on the "official" "Eat Before It's Too Late List" that we've eaten, as well as my list of "other" great ice creams, I think I've received the second most nudges to … [Read more...]
Ice Cream at Buttonwood Farm
We've Buttoned Up the Ice Cream List Buttonwood Farm, Griswold August 2010 When is eating delicious ice cream a sad affair? When it's the last of the 7 Roadfood "Eat Before It's Too Late" ice cream joints on the list I'm completing. I think Hoang shed a tear. A butterfat tear.
