I get real fulfillment from my work and I cannot think of anything more valuable. Different people could come to different conclusions about me but there is an inarguable fact about me, something everyone can agree on, I have fun at work and I'm doing what I wanted to do when I was a child.
My suggestions would be Lenny & Joe's in Westbrook, Frankie's Family Restaurants in Waterbury, Saybrook Fish House in Canton, and for my wildcard - the fried clams served up at the counter at City Fish Market in Wethersfield.
Route 8 is roughly 70 miles of state highway in Connecticut that runs North-South from Bridgeport, through Waterbury and all the way to the Massachusetts state line where it continues into Mass.
