Pizza from the famous Frank Pepe's New Haven, CT
This weekend my husband, daughter, and I visited Eastern Connecticut to attend Admitted Students' Day at the college that she will be attending in the fall. On the way up, we detoured into New Haven to enjoy one of Frank Pepe's famous tomato pies - delicious! You know that it will be good when there is a line outside of the place at 3pm!
We stayed in the picture perfect town of Old Saybrook, CT and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at the hotel's waterfront restaurant. We also ventured into Mystic, CT and enjoyed fabulous falafels from The Pita Spot. The restaurant was adorable, spotless, and everything sounded so good. We will definitely return to sample more from the menu.
It was perfect weather for touring the beautiful campus. My daughter is now officially a member of the Class of 2014. We enjoyed a celebratory lobster roll at Captain Scott's in New London before heading home to the Jersey Shore. I love what I know of Eastern Connecticut and look forward to getting more familiar with the area.

ReplyDeleteDrool.
I've heard a lot of good things about the pizza in New Haven. Will have to try it sometime - but it's that lobster roll that knocks me over. Good luck to your daughter.
ReplyDeletecan't decide what looks better ... the pizza, the falafel or the lobster roll ... yum!
ReplyDeletemakes me want to move back to the east coast... oh lobter rolls! How exciting for your daughter!
ReplyDeletelook at that pizza!!
ReplyDeleteA huge congrats to your daughter! This looks like a lovely campus and you're right, the weather is perfect! Great eats too. ;)
ReplyDeleteShe'll love Connecticut College. The best part of having a child in school in Hartford was the pizza. Bob would continually remind me that it was the most expensive pizza I'd ever eaten :-). I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteThe lobster roll is making me drool.
ReplyDeleteNow, I know that pizza rocks in Eastern Connecticut and the lobster roll is a must-not to mention the pita.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your daughter. I know you are busting with pride. I think it is awesome.
Is it sad that the second I saw the picture I knew it was Frank Pepe's? Now my boyfriend who is from CT says that you need to try Sally's pizza in New Haven. He says they're better :)
ReplyDeleteI'm back again to thank you for your kind words. I hope you've a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteGood Luck to your daughter at this most exciting time. My daughter is graduating from college this May! All the food sounds incredible!
ReplyDeleteWow, all of the food looks divine but the city itself makes me want to relocate to the East Coast.
