Guidebook for Stonington
Food Scene
The scallops are second to none, and if you don't like pizza, you'll like THIS pizza. If you can sit at the counter, do so. Watching Angelo, Aggie, and the rest of the crew prepare your meal is a real treat! During the height of the season, be prepared to wait in line, but it'll be well worth it.

A tiny restaurant with big, bold, flavorful Mexican cuisine the way it's meant to be served. And eaten. Parking may be a problem but the walk up and down Water Street is a great introduction to the "Borough".

The food isn't the best but the views are quite beautiful. You'll be able to enjoy drinks on the docks where you'll see lovely sailboats "parked" on docks and moorings. As of this writing, food is not allowed on the dock; you'll have to eat indoors in the restaurant. There is also a fire pit/seating area at the front of the area. Long lines are common during peak season so be prepared to wait for a table. Free parking is available.

Entertainment & Activities
If ships are something you find appealing, you can't leave our area without visiting the Mystic Seaport Museum. Exhibits change periodically and sometimes they are closed during these changes so check their website to see if they'll be open during your stay. Easy to get to and plenty of parking once there make this stop a "must do". If you decide to have a bite during your visit, Latitude 41 is on the premises.

Parks & Nature
This property abuts the Management Area so you can walk out the back door and find yourself hiking through our woods. The area is quite large (1,013 acres) but relatively flat. Cell phone service is iffy during a hike so it's better if you have a good sense of direction so you can find your way back home. You'll see plenty of wildlife including birds and deer, and you may come across the occasional trail runner. Hunting and fishing take place so wear appropriate clothing to make yourself visible to hunters.
