Kitchen Little - Mystic, Connecticut
Forget the famous Seaport and Aquarium, forget the bustling downtown with its well known drawbridge, this is why you come to Mystic. Impossibly tiny, Kitchen Little is the main draw of the Mystic area. Perfect for breakfast or lunch. Oh, and if you have time, I guess you can visit the Seaport.

Stonington, Connecticut
Route 1 between Mystic, CT and Westerly, RI is a scenic well traveled coastal drive. Follow Route 1A, off the main road, then the turn off over the train tracks to this intact, and hidden former whaling port and maritime village. A tiny commercial district is surrounded by an impressive number of colonial, Federal, Greek Revival, and other fine clapboard homes. The Stonington Historical Society maintains several properties worthy of a visit.
