CONNECTICUT’S CULINARY AND ANTIQUES TRAILS

Discover eastern Connecticut by exploring two new driving routes that highlight the area’s antiques venues and culinary offerings. The Antiques Trail takes you to dozens of country barns and antiques shops. Follow US Route 1 along the coast from Old Lyme to Mystic, or up CT 169, a designated scenic byway, from Lisbon to Woodstock near the Massachusetts border. Track down nearly 80 eateries and food-themed events in this part of the Nutmeg State with a new online Foodie Finds brochure. Find out about festivals, regional cuisine, and quirky food-related facts, like where to sip cider at the nation’s oldest steam-powered cider mill. Download both brochures online, or get a hard copy of the Antiques Trail from Mystic Country.  860-536-8822, www.mystic.org
