Milagro

Milagro is a small Mexican resturant on Water Street in Stonington Borough. It has unique and delicious menu prepared by a trained chef that uses local seafood that comes in

on the fishing boats that are docked a few hundred yards behind the restaurant. The fish tacos are a must as are the other seasonal fish presentations. Chuck just ordered some sort of pork rich wrapped in banana leaves that he raved about. This is another place where lots of locals can be found. Our time is limited in Mystic right now, but we always manage to make it to this cozy place to dine, a few times on our visits. They have a wide array of Margaritas that are worth a trip in themselves.
Another great thing about this place is that it is on picturesque Water Street, which is wonderful to wander around on if there is a wait or for an after dinner stroll. Another one of my favorite store, Dashers, is right across the street, (see Dashers), so you can also get in some shopping if you want.

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.

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...
