Eating Out in Connecticut

Madison: Bradley & Wall Gourmet Foods, 96 Wall St. Phone (203) 318-0300 Rarely do Denny and I find a pizza we enjoy outside of our hometown of Dayton, Ohio but I have to say, we enjoyed our deluxe thin crust pizza here. And while we waited for our pizza we drooled over the many hot foods and cold salads available for carry out or dine in eating. There was a steady flow of carry out customers the entire time we were waiting for our food and then later while eating it—this place is obviously a favorite of the locals. If we had stayed in town longer I'm sure we would have been back to try some of their entrees and fresh and/or pasta salads. The free garlic bread/garlic rolls were a nice touch too. Reasonable.

Mystic: Equinox Diner, 253 Greenmanville Ave. Phone (860) 415-4625 Located close to the Mystic Seaport Museum, Denny and I stopped here after a day at the museum. We tried their sandwiches: Denny had the Reuben and I had the Irish Pub fish sandwich. Both were excellent, served hot. Denny also tried the clam chowder which he enjoyed. The waitress was attentive and kept our iced tea glasses refilled which was wonderful on this hot day. Reasonable for a tourist area. (8/2011)
