Très Délicieux, Très Cher Belgique Chocolatier, Kent February 25, 2012 This place closed in the fall of 2012. This was always my go-to anytime I went hiking out near Kent. Sad face. Also, just having re-read this page in 2019... it's a shame I put no effort into it, as Belgique was pretty great. The Chocolate … [Read more...]
West River Fishway (Removed)
Dam, Yo! West River Fishway Behind a Walgreens on Whalley Ave, New Haven In 2015, the dam and fishway were removed - which is a good thing! Fish now have a direct path to get to where they're going. The fish ladder was moved to another river in Connecticut. This is still an interesting story, so I'm not deleting … [Read more...]
The Concrete Factory (Closed)
You'd Hard Ice Cream... The Concrete Factory, Ashford November 2011 The Concrete Factory closed in 2013. Let's dispense with the obvious first: This is a very oddly named ice cream boutique. Ashford doesn't have too many attractions. It was late November yet we got ice cream. Now that you've wrapped your head … [Read more...]
Arts Council of Gr. New Haven Galleries (Closed)

They were the Sumner McKnight Crosby Jr. Gallery, Gallery 195, The Parachute Factory, and Haskins Laboratories Gallery. As is … [Read more...]
The Washington Oak (RIP)
Washington Schlepped Here The Washington Oak, New Milford November 12, 2011 When I write my book, how am I going to incorporate all my brilliant title puns? I lose sleep over this question. During a car transfer in the middle of a day-long Appalachian Trail hike, I made it a point to seek out the … [Read more...]
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. First I’ll divulge what I hate: I hate the fact that it bills itself a “brewhouse” but doesn’t actually brew any beer. This is especially … [Read more...]
159. Weston Woods (RIP)
How the Weston Woods Was Won Weston (Google Maps location) March 13, 2010 Update: Morton Schindel passed away in 2016 at the age of 98. This place no longer exists as we visited it, and that makes my wife and I very, very sad. We both loved meeting Mort and could have spent a week with him in Weston. His house and … [Read more...]
Cavalry Brewing (Closed)
Bring on the Cavalry! Cavalry Brewing Oxford [May 2014 Update: Cavalry has closed. This came as no surprise to me, despite my effusive description below. This page was written back in 2010, when the CT craft beer landscape was infantile and owning a brewery was very difficult. Over time, Cavalry's beers fell … [Read more...]
Hotdogs at Carolyn’s Weenie Wagon (Closed)
See More Weenies! Carolyn’s Weenie Wagon, Seymour Carolyn's Weenie Wagon closed in 2015. For a guy who really doesn’t eat meat, let alone mysterious hot dog “meat,” I sure do love hot dogs. I’ve become sort of grateful that the Stern’s felt the need to include so many hot dogs on their “Eat Before You Die” … [Read more...]
M&K Dairy – Ladies of Levita Road (Closed)
A Hard Cheese is Good to Find… M&K Dairy, Ladies of Levita Road, Lebanon March 12, 2011 This place closed in... I have no idea. Let's guess 2015. … Oh, LeviTA Road, not LeviTRA Road. Oh well. I found this tucked away dairy purveyor on only my second try. Quite frankly, if they didn’t have the name of the … [Read more...]
