The Old-School Connecticut Seafood Joint With Giant Lobster Rolls Locals Keep Secret

A neon sign with a grinning skull and crossbones marks the spot. Underneath it sits a low blue shack loaded with buoys, ship wheels, lobster traps, and rope. The pirate look is fun, but the backstory is even better. This family seafood tradition traces back to 1927, when a grandmother sold clam chowder from her back porch.

Eli Eats Blue Lobster and Sees Everything Seafood

Fall break is a much anticipated reprieve from college life, but it can also be a bit bizarre, especially if one is staying on campus to shoot their film project. It then gets really weird if that aforementioned project wraps by Saturday eve, meaning that one has three full days with nothing on the horizon. The campus is, in the words of ska revival band The Specials, “like a ghost town.” Friends have departed for warmer pastures. Professors are professing. There’s actually nothing to do, except Uber to the closest theater, the Picture Show in Berlin, Conn. (rest in peace Metro Movies), to see “You Can See Everything.” The good news is that, on the way, you can get lobster.
