also CT has some pretty rural areas, sherman is a cute little town iirc that felt pretty similar to the berkshire towns in MA like stockbridge and great barrington. went to wedding there a few years ago
― marcos, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:57 (nine years ago) link
omg stop trying to make connecticut happen
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 June 2014 14:58 (nine years ago) link

window is short but I will take that on board
if I've seen Gloucester does yr answer change? cos I've seen Gloucester twice and that was once and a bit too many tbph
― dn/ac (darraghmac), Monday, 9 June 2014 15:04 (nine years ago) link
well, kind of? New Bedford is like a seedier version of Gloucester with worse restaurants and a pretty cool whaling museum
― On-the-spot Dicespin (DJP), Monday, 9 June 2014 15:05 (nine years ago) link
otm it's way seedy
― Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Monday, 9 June 2014 15:08 (nine years ago) link
and CT sucks but I do want to try New Haven pizza.
hmmm I feel like I could find a closer whaling museum were that all, yknow
― dn/ac (darraghmac), Monday, 9 June 2014 15:08 (nine years ago) link
tho I guess I can see why he moved, given the facts
Gloucester can be pretty seedy too though. Someone in a bar there once stole my shoes.
― Airwrecka Bliptrap Blapmantis (ENBB), Monday, 9 June 2014 15:09 (nine years ago) link
I like it even though I'm still bitter about the shoe incident.
lmaoo

yeah gloucester has a nice balance between historic gloucester and being mad real, new bedford is more just mad real
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:13 (nine years ago) link

If you go to conn drive the Merritt Parkway
Everything else kinda sucks imo
― 龜, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:34 (nine years ago) link
yeah the merrit owns
― lag∞n, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:35 (nine years ago) link
yea it's a good drive. was kind of a miracle when we started driving the merritt instead of 95 to visit my in-laws in fairfield. that stretch of 95 is one of my top 3 worst highways in the country
― marcos, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:37 (nine years ago) link
As someone who lives within the Louisiana Purchase, parkways are such a novelty to me.
― pplains, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:37 (nine years ago) link
I think if you do 95 entering from NY there's a cool bridge you drive across. But yeah that's an awful stretch
― 龜, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:38 (nine years ago) link
i gotta get down to the whaling museum but i have been programmed to avoid the entire rt. 24/495 triangle
― call all destroyer, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:38 (nine years ago) link
Do they call it a parkway because there are areas every few miles where you can park
That's amazing
― 龜, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:39 (nine years ago) link
It's not an interstate, it's not a Route 66... it's a limited-access highway that goes through people's backyards.
― pplains, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:39 (nine years ago) link
yea no trucks too
― marcos, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:40 (nine years ago) link

this is key
there are also gas stations scattered throughout the merritt where you can pull over and park & get some gas

― pplains, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:45 (nine years ago) link
also they are very twisty w no shoulder and people drive 20mph over the speed limit so it kinda like a video game except if you die you really die

The pizza in new haven is okay I never actually went to sals or pepes the storefronts I would always just eat the free stuff they delivered
Modern's is good only because they call it apizza instead of pizza
BAR had good mashed potato pizza before it became a thing I think plus they brew their own beer
My favorite actually was brick oven pizza which I think is a chain
Don't go to Louis Lunch it's a scam
― 龜, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:46 (nine years ago) link
Now there's a shake shack (that got closed for some kind of infestation or something) and a chipotle and I bet a billion other chains haha suck it new haven
― 龜, Monday, 9 June 2014 15:47 (nine years ago) link
the merritt also has my fav tree
