It may be our third smallest state, but Connecticut has plenty to offer. Here's a quick tribute to some favorite stops on our recent
Connecticut River Valley weekend. On the outskirts of the village of
Chester , we loved the setting of the
Sage American Bar & Grill (pictured).
Housed in a former circa-1860 brush factory, the restaurant serves up firelight warmth and rustic charm along with pricey-but-worth-it cuisine, especially for meat lovers. Chester is also home to Simon's Marketplace (860.526.8984), perfect for a light lunch overlooking the stream that runs behind and underneath or for gourmet picnic food. And we were graciously accomodated for a lunch of escargot and white wine at the
Gelston House 1853 Inn in East Haddam, CT (pictured below). Companion to the adjacent
Goodspeed Opera House , this hotel--its 6 rooms currently occupied by its new owners--is a great stop for a meal on the veranda or in the dining room.
