Inn at Mystic CTHarbour House has a checkered past. About 30 years ago it was the best restaurant in town and then went in to decline to the point that Robert Irvine's, "Restaurants Impossible", showed up to try to save it. It has kind of been struggling to find its identity since then. It was sold to a new owner in 2014 who has put over $1 million into renovations. The only reason I mention it is that it does have a good happy hour menu with very reasonable priced wines and they also have live music several evenings a week. Not sure I would have a regular meal there.

Stonington Seafood Harvesters is owned by the Bombster family and is a local institution.

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...

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...
