Lions and Tigers and Sharp Metal Edges, Oh My! Kent (Google Maps location) September 15, 2012 Having been to 240 museums so far in Connecticut, it stands to reason that I've met some really interesting and talented people.

244. Thomas Darling House
It’s Just… Just So… I Can’t Think of the Word Woodbridge (Google Maps location) December 2, 2012 In what seems to have become an annual tradition, I visited another historic house museum during their December holiday party.

Summer Brook Valley Farm Alpacas (Closed)
Alpaca? But I Hardly Know Ya Summer Brook Valley Farm Alpacas November 26, 2011 This page is... crazy. Summer Brook closed in 2015 for one, and it goes way too deep into alpaca-dom for some reason. But this is the only alpaca place you'll find on CTMQ, though other similar places are of course still operating in … [Read more...]

Il Bacio
Licensed to Il Ice Cream at Il Bacio, Danbury My first thought upon entering Il Bacio was, “since I can’t get the phrase ‘Licensed to Il’ out of my head, wouldn’t it be awesome if they had a Brass Monkey ice cream or gelato flavor?” Sadly (and expectedly), they did not. Because really, that would be kind of … [Read more...]
Pizza at Pizzeria Laurentano
From Napoli to Bethel 291 Greenwood Ave, Bethel 16 Bucks I think This restaurant closed in 2017. Nailed it. Finally. I think we tried to get pizza here twice before over the years, only to find it closed. (Note: this is still only about 10% as frustrating as trying get pies at Pepe’s or Sally’s in New … [Read more...]
Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream
Mystical Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream, Mystic July 14, 2012 It’s not often I can knock out three CTMQ-worthy food/restaurant pages in one fell swoop. (After writing that phrase, I looked at it and wondered where it came from. And it’s stuff like that that makes the Internet so great.) After dining a few … [Read more...]
