We came to Mystic, CT for a couple of weeks as my wife was recording in the area, and we really fell in love with this town near Stonington, on the Long Island Sound. The Whaler Inn in Mystic is the kind of inn you always hope will be in a small town, but rarely is. It’s right on the water, steps from three great restaurants (the Oyster Club is my favorite), and walking distance to a bookstore. Nana’s Bakery and Pizza has great coffee, bread, and pizza—it’s like the real life version of Mystic Pizza unlike the actual one, which is terrible. Grass & Bone is a takeout/butcher kind of place that has rotisserie chickens, sandwiches, and salads. S&P Oyster is a more trad New England “nice” restaurant with a great view and solid food. A very short drive is Ford’s Lobster in Noank, and Noank has an actual 100-year-old general store/breakfast place called Carson’s that is a must visit. Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream is pretty charming. Rise is a good brunch place. And Mystic is in driving distance to all the great New Haven pizza places.
