This is a very good maritime museum. The admission is high but if you really love this area of study, it's well worth it. Plan to spend the entire day to really absorb the info. The summer is best.

I LOVE the sandwiches on this menu! They offer some AMAZING chicken options for those who limit beef intake for any reason. Though it's tempting to eat a whole sandwich, one's plenty for 2 to share.

One of only 2 places in CT that I go for doughnuts. This is the one closest to home. Their offerings are the best I've ever eaten. The coffee isn't as good as I'll serve you but it's respectable.
