Connecticut dining beckons from authentic pizzerias, glittering casino towers
As in most of New England, Connecticut chefs know their way around seafood, and visitors can enjoy everything from cod to mussels to lobster -- accompanied by seaside views for visitors dining in the coastal cities of Fairfield County, New Haven, and the Mystic region. Connecticut’s Mystic region also is known far and wide as the home of two large casinos – Foxwoods Resort & Casino and the Mohegan Sun. These temples to entertainment understand the pleasure of good dining in every form, from a simple coffee and pastry at a kiosk on the gaming concourse to fine dining in the elegant restaurants, some with expansive views of the rolling countryside. Outsiders sometimes don’t know that New Haven is where the pizza was invented; Wooster Street, in fact, is the location of three rival pizza restaurants whose operators and their recipes are direct descendants of the original pizza created by Frank Pepe.
