Noank Restaurant Named Among Best In U.S. By New York Times

NOANK, CT — A classic New England seafood shack is getting a big boost: Haring's in Noank has been named one of the best restaurants in the U.S. by The New York Times.

The waterfront spot on the Mystic River offers fresh lobster, smash burgers, seafood, farm veggies and more.

The Times described Haring's as "the New England seafood shack you’ve always wanted, whether you knew it or not."

The review goes on to note that it's "the kind of place where you can put your feet up on the wooden railing, spread some smoked bluefish on Ritz crackers, eat a fried cod sandwich or demolish a succulent steamed lobster."

Haring's chef Chris Vanasse and Port of Call's Renee Touponce are chef-partners in the Mystic-based 85th Day Food Community, which operates the restaurant and, according to The Times, is "glowing up the area." It also runs the Oyster Club, Port of Call, and the Engine Room in Mystic.

Many of the other restaurants on the Times' list are located in major cities like Chicago, New Orleans, Miami, Boston, and Houston.

The seafood shack is located at 15 Riverview Ave., the former site of Ford's Lobster.
