Walt's is a Main Street fixture and our local grocer/butcher/sandwich shop. If you're a meat eater, you will love their sandwiches. Roast beef and turkey are made in-store. The reuben is outstanding. Grab some sandwiches and then have a picnic at the Founder's Park, located at the end of Coulter Street, where you'll find picnic tables and a beautiful view of the CT river. (Keep driving on the gravel road til you reach the park.)
