This is Stonington Borough's Main Street that has now become full of boutiques and expensive places to eat. There are the usual espresso joints that should be avoided as what they pass for espresso is pathetic. As a matter of fact it's difficult to get any good coffee these days; it's all very watery. I remember when this was real place with many luncheonettes that catered to the local Portuguese fisherman and other local residents when one could get a very nice meal at a reasonable place. Because of the inevitable gentrification, these have all been turned into expensive boutiques. We noted a dearth of people on a normal week day. Perhaps things pick up during the weekend and more into the summer months. Our visit was in middle June. Needless to say the place looked somewhat depressing. It is, nevertheless, a beautiful town worth visiting and we go there at least once a year.
Greetings, this blog is dedicated to my life in photography and my passion for good Italian food.. I want to make this a place to stop and relax. In the hope that this will provide some respite and peace. Thank you for visiting.
