During our Labor Day weekend picnic I talked about our planned road

My BIL suggested a visit to Mystic Harbor in New Haven, CT while
traveling from NYC to Boston.

Does anyone have any information on Mystic Harbor?


Mystic, CT, is not in New Haven. It's about 60 miles east of New Haven,
a little east of New London. It's an interesting day trip if you are
already going to be in the area.

If you are going through New Haven, you'll want to consider stopping for
lunch or dinner at Pepe's or at Turks. Pepe's, many believe, has the
best pizza in the known universe. Turks in West Haven along the
shoreline has great "shoreline" seafood. The restaurant and its same
name predecessors has been around for at least 75 years.

Do not park your car anywhere in NYC with any luggage or gifts in the
trunk or visible on the seats. Your out-of-state plates are a dead
giveaway that you are a "tourist" and therefore your vehicle is worthy
of a trunk pop. I am not kidding about this.

If you haven't picked a Boston hotel, consider the Parker House. It's a
grand old hotel, recently renovated, and many of the best Boston sites
are within walking distance, including an interesting graveyard where
you will recognize some of the names.

The Boston Aquarium is much nicer than the one in Baltimore.


Thanks!

Harry would probably like for you to visit him. Maybe he'll treat you to
lunch. When you're down to two friends, you should associate as much as
possible.
