The first thing I had on my mind was a warmContinue reading “Connecticut 2023, Part 2: Eating on the Coast”
New York State and Connecticut: Part One
It was fantastic to be back on the road this past week when my wife and I ventured up to New York State and Connecticut to see old friends and visit a couple historically significant tourist attractions. This turned out to be an unusual trip in that we didn’t eat any noteworthy food until itsContinue reading “New York State and Connecticut: Part One”
