Las Vegas, NV: 2012
Viva Las Antibiotics Las Vegas, 2012 May 29-June 2, 2012 I had a work conference in Las Vegas so I asked my parents if they could deal with our sons for a few days to allow Hoang to join me in the desert. Note: I asked them 13 months in advance and got my sister, who lives very near my parents, to agree to assist … [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...]
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...]
Shore Dinner at Abbott’s Lobster in the Rough
Lobster in the Buff Shore Dinner at Abbott's Lobster in the Rough, Groton July 2012 Note: most of this intro stuff is repeated over on my page about their clam chowder, which makes the same Roadfood "Eat Before You Die" list separately.

Divine Treasures
The Manchester Parkade is Like a Box of Chocolates Divine Treasures, Manchester June 9, 2012 Let’s be honest here – The sprawling Manchester Parkade is a mess. Not just because some of it is being torn down, but also because it is a jumble of some seriously crappy stores mixed in with a few gems. Divine … [Read more...]
193. Berlin Agricultural Lions Museum
This is What A-Tractored Her To Me! Berlin (Google Maps location) October 3, 2010 This museum is open only at the Berlin Fair As many of you know, I’m not from these parts.

Stew Leonard’s
"The World's Largest Dairy Store," Stew Leonard's Stew Leonard's Dairy Store, Newington March 2012 I realize I will sound like a crank for the next five minutes of your lives, but I don't care. It's true I don't enjoy grocery shopping, but I really don't hate it either. It's just something I have to do every few … [Read more...]
Berlin Fair
Berlin Fair October 2010 2019 Note: As a general rule, I don't write up town fairs. However, once in a while I will. Usually this will be for CTMQ-worthy reasons, but Berlin doesn't really have that. But it does have two museums, so I guess that qualifies. Attended: Sunday Afternoon Parking: Free Distance … [Read more...]
