Carson's

Carson's in located in the fishing town of Noank, across the river from our home. It is a must breakfast destination . They make their own corned beef and have many delicious
Carsons general store, Noank CT
Eggs Benedicts to choose from as well as some lobster options. The food is fantastic, but the decor even more so. It is an original 1950's fountain setting with black and white checkered floors, with that teal green and silver look from the Howard Johnson's era. I can't stop taking pictures of the penny candy jars and the whole setting in general. It really is all original and you feel you have stepped back in time. The booths are tiny, so four sit where normal space of two. This is kind of like Cheer's where all the locals congregate. If you are
Carsons General Storealone, don't be surprised if someone joins you at your table. There is a man that pulls up on a golf cart every morning and Carrie, the server drops what she is doing and goes out to assist him in the door! This place is the way America should be. After breakfast take the Noank walk I suggest in the activities section and you will feel your day is complete before ten in the morning. Such a charming town!

Stonington Seafood Harvesters

Stonington Seafood Harvesters is owned by the Bombster family and is a local institution. This family has several huge fishing trawlers that they use to harvest some to the best scallops you will ever taste.

They have a unique retail stand over by the Stonington Fishing docks. There are freezers lined up under an awing like gray building. The customer selects what they want out of the freezers, which are filled with scallops, etc, uses the provided adding machine to calculate what they owe and either deposits a cash payment or check in a slo...

Block Island

Block Island is a full doable day trip. Many of our guests have come back for many many years and may want to venture out a bit. You can take a ferry from Point Judith or New London and there is no need to take your car with you. never have left from New London so not sure what the timing or price difference is. I would try to catch one of the first ferries out in the morning to have more time there. It is a great place to rent bikes, mopeds or even a convertible to tour this wild natural Island twelve miles off the coast of Rhode Island. There are a ton of taxi tours if you want a guided tour. "The Nature Conservancy has designated Block Island one of the 12 last great places in the Western Hemisphere" Whatever that means. ! It is truly beautiful with bluffs, cliffs, hiking trails, farmland, light houses and a beautiful little town where you disembark from the ferry that you could be happy in all day if you do not want to tour the island. I found Littlefield Bee f...
