Shopping in Connecticut

  1. A

    Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream

    Strolling through town is best done with an ice-cream cone in hand, specifically one from here. Some of the more quirky flavors like pumpkin pie and southern peach are seasonal, but on any given day there will be something innovative to try, like the gooeylicious Sticky Fractured Finger (pieces of butterfingers in caramel ice cream).
