The Lazy Girl's Guide To A Weekend In Connecticut

To cure that post-beach day fatigue - tanning really is quite exhausting after all- settle in for dinner at Artisan, a local favorite with beyond delicious New England fare and a look that could definitely have it pass as a cousin of ABC Kitchen. Shoot for a table outside in the garden under the magical, mason jar lit trellis, and shower yourself with food. Non-negotiable must try's include the Lobster Salad, the Artisan Seafood Chowder, Pesto Shrimp Pappardelle, and in house made blueberry and pistachio ice-creams - reasons enough on their own to consider speeding up that inevitable move to the suburbs.
