Mystic Drawbridge and Abbott's Lobster Make Boston Magazine's Top 19!

Boston Magazine came out with a list of 19 of the best summertime foods in New England and it should come as no surprise that Mystic and Noank made the list. Abbott's Lobster stood tall among competitors in Maine and Mystic Drawbridge held its own against stores in the ice cream capital of the world - Vermont!

The article says about Abbott's lobster roll, "Many New England lobster rolls contain mayonnaise and a little diced celery, but Connecticut folks look down their noses on that concoction as a mere “lobster salad roll.” The Nutmeg State hot lobster roll contains a mound of chunked meat heated on the grill, doused with melted butter, and heaped on a toasted bun. Abbott’s uses a full quarter pound of meat per roll — more than a small lobster contains — to enjoy on the Noank waterfront."

Here's what they wrote about Mystic Drawbridge: 

"Mystic Drawbridge has the perfect location to watch the span over the Mystic River open and close — and it has the most inventive flavors to lick while you watch. In fact, a new flavor usually debuts annually. In 2012, it was SeaportSaltySwirl (caramel ice cream with salted peanuts, caramel and peanut butter swirls, and chocolate-covered pretzels). The new kid for 2013 is Holy Mole: chocolate with a hit of cayenne pepper. All the dense ice creams and frozen yogurts are made in single batches."
