Skip overpriced areas like the Hamptons and Cape Cod, and spend your summer with Connecticut’s beachside clam shacks, throwback ice cream parlors, and classic apizza parlors
As high temperatures and sticky humidity descend upon the East Coast each summer, residents start looking for places to escape the crowds, the smells, and the sweat. New Yorkers head to the Hamptons, Bostonians flood Cape Cod and Nantucket, and Rhode Islanders turn to Newport — but the popularity of these seaside refuges comes at a cost, literally.
The peaceful, warm-weather getaway still exists in Connecticut, on a 100-mile stretch of shoreline running from Greenwich in the west to Mystic in the east. Compared to other seaside retreats, the crowds are a little thinner, the air a little clearer, and the fresh-caught clams a little, well, fresher.
If you want overpriced mimosas, subpar seafood, and stiflingly packed beaches, go to the Hamptons. If you want to chill out with some apizza and a proper, buttery lobster roll, head to Connecticut.The culinary reputation of the Connecticut shoreline hinges on seafood. The Long Island Sound is a prime body of water for clams, served whole, fried, and in rolls at countless local clam shacks, and for lobster, which ends up in the Nutmeg State’s classic lobster roll .
Aquatic eats aside, no conversation about the coastal Connecticut food scene would be complete without a mention of the area’s most famous dish: New Haven-style. Brought to New Haven by Neapolitan immigrants in the early 20th century, apizza refers to very thin-crusted, slightly asymmetrical pies cooked in blisteringly-hot brick ovens. The crust takes on a charred color and flavor, topped with tomato sauce and a light sprinkling of cheese .
Most shacks are located within a mile of public beaches to refuel beachgoers after a long day of swimming and sunbathing.
