bazookajodeci asked: i'm not sure if it's too far from where you are, but the common grounds coffee shop in branford, ct is really good. extremely nice staff, great coffee, and it's right across the street from the green. check it out if you get the chance.
Fantastic. It’s always good to know where there is a friendly coffee shop. Sounds like a good stop off on the way north along the Long Island Sound - especially in the summer for the beaches.

also check out the Branford Land Trust in advance of visiting the area and what’s happening at The Puppet House Theater
Midnight Ramble Sessions at Levon Helm’s home studio in Woodstock, NY
The studio, built by local craftsman without a single nail, resides on Levon Helm’s property and is said to be the field of dreams for musicians - build it and they will come. Hence, the birth of the more formally organized midnight rambles. People bring food and drink and share with the other guests. A giant late night potluck, it seems.
Indeed sounds like a dream come true, except for the expensive tickets. If you’re interested, tickets go fast, almost a month in advance. Summer is not yet sold out.
I want to go. Really, really, want to go.
