Mr. E.

This is the epitome of hole-in-the-wall dining. Located in an unassuming commercial plaza, you would never know this place was here until you stumbled across it.

It has that well worn feel to it that says you're in for an authentic experiance, good or bad. In this case, it was great.

The food was prepared fresh and hot, and my biggest disappointment was that I went alone, so could only sample what I ordered, and not off the plates of others (who would have ordered something else).

As much as I want to patronize Connecticut's last remaining Blimpies just a couple of store fronts down, I don't think I can knowing that such an amazing place as Pho Van exists so close. I suppose if I were in a rush... but still, it would be a hard decision.

The waitstaff was exceptionaly friendly and eager to help me decide what I wanted to eat that day. There were too many good looking things on the menu.

I'm definitely stopping by there again as soon as I can to give the other dishes a try.

You should too.

This is a charming musium with a nice collection of art. They have a lot from different time periods and movements, including a couple that directly reference other works they have in their collection.

They also have some which I'm not too crazy about, so I didn't take a lot of time to study. Mostly the postmodernism pieces.

Overall, I think the place is too small. However, I don't have the funds to donate to give them a vew wing.

Like all shopping plazas, this place is just another collection of stores surrounding a parking lot. Some are good places to spend money, and some aren't. It's up to you to decide which is which.

They have some stores, but other than the name, you'd have no idea there was any natural features, like a brook, nearby. But if you want to spend money, this is one of many places withing a few miles where you can do so.
