BYOB this Korean eatery is SO GOOD small menu but that just means they have crafted each meal to perfection. You wouldn't assume you could get such good Korean food outside of the city.

Neighborhoods
Putnam is about half an hour away from the house and has the classic small-town New England feel. With a walkable downtown filled with shops and restaurants. It's off the beaten path a bit it's not typically super busy which is great!

Sightseeing
A little bit of a drive but well worth it if you're looking for some ocean vibes... or just to pretend you're a rich victorian wife who's husband is out to sea roaming her mansion and gardens waiting for him to return .... (maybe that just how I feel when I'm there)

7 Wineries on the CT wine trail are all within an hour's drive of our home though my favorite is the Taylor Brooke Winery in Woodstock. But if you are into wine and want to spend your weekend sipping local wines there are a lot of options to choose from

Mohegan Sun is one of the best Casinos I've ever been to... and we lived in Vegas for a while. Tons of games, Tons of Food, Heck there's even an adventure park for the kids.
