Near the coastline: Chester, Deep River, Essex…quiet, small town feel, slower pace than Hartford suburbs. Really nice!

White Horse Country Pub in New Preston is a great place with a lot of interesting things like a 1920 Indian motorcycle behind the bar; and great food. I live near the shore but on the occasion we do a drive in the fall, we try to go there.

We like Seaside in Old Saybrook and Shoreline in Chester. But I’m sure there are stores closer to you. Like others suggested, just try a few different places and you’ll eventually find your favorites!
