Afternoon Tea at Mrs Bridge's Pantry

Mrs Bridge's Pantry and Tea RoomWe took a foliage drive to Connecticut's quiet corner.  Along the way, we discovered Mrs Bridge's Pantry, a great little tea room and market for British goods.

It was the perfect place to relax after touring the lovely historic Roseland Cottage in Woodstock, Connecticut, one of many interesting historic homes owned by Historic New England (formerly SPNEA).

Roseland Cottage in Woodstock, CTAfter some more driving (where we scored some fresh preservative-free cider) we headed home by way of the  Stone Bridge Restaurant* in Tiverton, RI, where she enjoyed the special Lobster Cheesecake and I had the Portuguese classic,  Pork & Littleneck Clams.

Stone Bridge under new management

The last couple of times we went to the Stone Bridge Restaurant in Tiverton, it had passed (I guess) from father to son. The new ownership seems less interested in foodie goodness and more interested in maximizing his investment.
