Traveling to Connecticut

[keebank]

Hey guys nothing really shave related but would like to know from anyone who lives in or has been to Connecticut any places I should visit. I am going to be in the New Haven area but would take suggestions for any area of CT. Ideas can be off the beaten path, museums, natural areas..etc. You know if you had a couple days in CT what would you definitly want to see or do. Any and all suggestions are helpful. (Don't even bother going, is an option that is unavoidable, )

New Haven is 43 minutes from Gentlemens Best at 101 Center St. Southington, Ct. 06489

No trip out that way would be complete without a visit, it's a bit of a museum in and of itself. Stop in and say hi to Ray

The Casinos are nice

Mystic Seaport is probably one of the more touristy areas with a nice aquarium. Its also right near the casinos and the Groton sub base.

If you have even a passing interest in shaving, Gentlemen's Best is a must.
(There's a Rainforest Cafe a few exits past there if you need to bribe the family.)

Definitely get some New Haven style pizza. I'm not going to get into the tiresome argument about what's the best place to go. Frank Pepe, Modern Apizza, etc.

Pepe's and the Peabody Museum at Yale in New Haven.

Then head east for Mystic, sub museum in Groton, and the casinos.

I plan to head to Southington when I get up there in a couple of weeks, too.

We're going to surf RI and NH, and climb Mt. Washington, too!
