Hugging Connecticut’s southeastern shoreline along I-95, southeastern Connecticut is my stomping ground.

But if you’re not a local, these beautiful shoreline towns feature great sightseeing and more importantly, excellent dining experiences.

Tusk & Cup Fine Coffee has opened across the street from the Branchville train station at 51 Ethan Allen Highway (Route 7) in Ridgefield. Owners Joe and Laura Ancona, the same family that owns and runs nearby Ancona’s Market and Ancona’s Wines & Liquors, opened Tusk & Cup in November, a fine complement to the family-owned businesses and this burgeoning neighborhood of small businesses.
