Brian said that the Skulls fraternity home to George Dubya, and (hopefully for them) other notables, is a window-less building right onthe main drag. Add that to Rory's coffee cart as a New Haven must see.

If Time, take US 1, Old Boston Post Rd (more scenic) to Mystic, if not, 2pm and later, take 95 N

I think this is the place....menu is attached...an institution for lobster, you sit out back right on the harbor and eat cafeteria-style...fun!

It's easy to get here and you can feel part of the community by helping Josh Swigut save for college! Seriously, though, Here's how you do it:

Driving Directions From I-95 (Exit 89) From I-95 North...Turn RIGHT at Top of Exit Ramp.
or....
From I-95 South...Turn LEFT at Top of Exit Ramp.

Then proceed as follows; Continue along Allyn St. until the intersection of US Route 1. Go STRAIGHT ACROSS US 1 at the traffic light. You are now on West Mystic Avenue. At the SECOND stop sign on West Mystic Ave... - Turn RIGHT onto CT Route 215. Continue on Rt. 215 about 1.5 mi. until STOP SIGN (the only one you come to on Rt. 215) Turn LEFT into the village of Noank (Mosher Ave.)...The street will curve to the right and become Ward Ave...Pass the Firehouse and a gas station; just ahead is a stop sign at the intersection of Main Street. Turn LEFT on Main and then an immediate RIGHT onto Pearl St. Abbott's is on the end of Pearl St., about 0.3 mi.
