A piece of cupcake heaven at Li's Bake Shop in Mystic, Connecticut

When you think of Mystic, Connecticut the movie Mystic Pizza probably comes to mind featuring Julia Roberts. We are not saying that you shouldn’t check out the actual Mystic Pizza restaurant but wanted to enlighten you to another tasty shop in this New England town. Just before you cross over the drawbridge leading to the downtown area is a small side street where we discovered a piece of cupcake heaven, Li's Bake Shop.


They have some of the best cupcakes we have ever had so you guessed it, time for our second road trip to the great state of Connecticut.

This shop is tiny in size but huge on taste. We had the tough decision to make among the many delectable offerings but in the end we know we picked well. I chose the pistachio cupcake that was topped with a light frosting and it was out of this world.


My wife decided on a coconut cupcake and she couldn’t believe how good this tasted. She loves all things coconut and this seriously ranks up there with the best of the best!


Looking for something to do in the area? Because of its location on the water, Mystic is a very popular tourist area. There are plenty of shops in downtown to keep you entertained, or you can select a bench along the water and watch the boats and the drawbridge.


Mystic Seaport where one can roam around the museum and appreciate the maritime history of the area.

Head to the Mystic Aquarium and to see some water life.

And for you gamblers there is always Foxwoods.

For our next drive we would like you to experience some great Italian food at Pagliuca's in Boston. Yes, there are many options in the North End but this is one of our favorites. We have been to Pagliuca's dozens of times over the past 10 years and have also checked out a bunch of other restaurants in the area. Joe, Freddie and staff all do a great job serving up mouth watering food.

Captain Frosty's in Dennis, Massachusetts

Image
When we think of our favorite comfort foods there is mac and cheese, pizza, hamburgers, chowder, and meatloaf. Most of these we can make at home unless you're like us and prefer to have someone else make it for you. Anyway, there is one that is very difficult to prepare at home and that is fried seafood. You could buy one of those small fryers or set up a large commercial fryer in your kitchen but for most of us it is just better cooked by somebody else. With the smell of fried seafood permeating in our minds we took off on a recent warm day to Captain Frosty's on Cape Cod in Dennis, MA.

Searching For Heady Topper In Vermont

Image
This is another one for any beer lovers out there as we hunt for Heady Topper. Brewed by Alchemist, it is made in small batches and only available at the brewery, select retail stores and restaurants in Vermont. Supply definitely does not meet the demand and for that reason they frequently run out of stock. There are stories of people following their delivery trucks so they could be first in line to make sure not to miss out. Given that the beer is shipped only on certain days of the week that seemed like the best option if you arrive on the same day but our first stop didn't quite match. We were in Burlington and happened upon The Farmhouse Tap & Grill but their delivery day is Thursday and unfortunately they were out. This was a Wednesday and after checking the Alchemist website schedule finding that Prohibition Pig in Waterbury was on the list we were on our way. Before even sitting down I yelled out to the hostess, do you have Heady Topper? And luck was on my side bec
