This Place Mystic-fies Me Mystic Pizza, Groton October 5, 2013 The things I do for you people. The sacrifices… the pain. Things like eating overpriced so-so pizza at one of Connecticut's few and true tourist traps. It just had to be done once. For the site. And for you.

Gelatissimo
Yes, Generalissimo, to Gelatissimo Gelatissimo, New Canaan As is the case with so many of my CTMQ lists – almost all of them, actually – I started them with the ignorant notion that I’d easily finish them.

Peaches ‘n Cream
Shake Your Smoove Cream Ice Cream at Peaches 'n Cream, Litchfield July 7, 2013 All I can think about is Peaches and Herb. (Read: I'm old.) They of "Shake Your Groove Thing" and "Reunited."

Meadow Stone Farm (Closed)
MMmmm, Cat Cheese Meadow Stone Farm, Brooklyn June 9, 2012 2014 Update: This innocuous little page, which has very little useful information on it, has become one of the stranger places on CTMQ.

The Chocolate Lab (Closed)
Good Job, Dawg The Chocolate Lab, Greenwich May 25, 2013 2014 Update: I have received word that this place is closed. Re-reading this page is annoying, because I seem to have mixed up the names of the restaurant chef, the chocolate chef, and the real chocolate chef guy whom I never named. But if they are indeed … [Read more...]
