The Wedding of Nicole & Eli
Things To Do
Mohegan Sun Casino
This is our favorite casino in the area! It is a great place to check out, not just for gambling, but for restaurants, music, and shopping as well.
Foxwoods Resort and Casino
Foxwoods is also nearby and is one of the largest casinos in the United States. Also a great place to check out for gambling, shopping at the Tanger Outlets, and a show!
Mystic Aquarium
Fishes and more, oh my!
Mystic Seaport Museum
If you want to learn about the rich seafaring history of Connecticut, then this is the place for you. Super cool place to see restoration projects of old wooden ships!
USS Nautilus
Check out the first nuclear powered submarine!
Ocean Beach
Eli, his friends, and Nicole have spent many days here in the summer! A small beach, but good place for a dip or walk!
Olde Mistick Village
A quaint place to check out for shopping and restaurants. Next to Mystic Aquarium!
Downtown Mystic
A pretty area to explore for ice cream, restaurants, shopping and bars. Very nautical and touristy.
Stonington Borough
Plenty of great restaurants and shops to explore. Also very touristy and scenic.
Jonathan Edwards Winery
A great place to enjoy some wine!
Stonington Vineyards
A great place to have a glass of wine and relax, or pick up a bottle to bring home!
Outer Light Brewing Company
We've been on many a date here!
Tox Brewing Company
Good beer and a frog as a mascot, what's better?!
Fox Farm Brewery
A great place to grab a beer and hang out on a farm!
B.F. Clyde's Cider Mill
Established in 1881, this is the oldest steam powered cider mill in the United States. It’s a very popular spot for fresh apple cider, hard cider, and cider donuts, attracting tourists from all over the country!
Two Roads Brewing Company
One of the largest breweries in the state, and certainly one of our favorites!
Michael's Dairy
A great place to check out for ice cream at Mitchell College in New London!
Salem Valley Farms Ice Cream
A great place for ice cream!
UConn Dairy Bar
Arguably some of the best ice cream in the state. Eli recommends the Jonathan Supreme Sundae if you go check this place out!
Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana
No trip to Connecticut is complete without some New Haven style pizza. While Frank Pepe's is one of our favorites, New Haven has a lot of awesome places that all compete for the best pie (i.e. Sally's, Moderna, etc.). Also if driving to New Haven is a little far, there is a Frank Pepe's in Mohegan Sun!
Louis' Lunch
Did you know the burger was invented in Connecticut? The burgers are still flame broiled and prepared the original way they were back in 1895.
Ted's Restaurant
For burger connoisseurs, check out Ted's for a steamed cheeseburger. As a Connecticut classic, this is a very unique and delicious burger joint.
