Niantic Boardwalk
Park
👍👍 Has replaced Bluff Point as my favorite walk in SE CT. Easy access from anywhere in town (you're going here to walk, right?). Parking at access points is tight during the summer. Nice 2 mile out and back or loop through Niantic villagne. The loop has sidewalks most of the way, only a little hairy by...

Although it doesn't have a life guard or one, I have seen when we went. Great music entertainment in the summer. Have camps at ti...

Taza Grille Middle Eastern Restaurant
Middle Eastern restaurant
👍👍 Authentic middle eastern cuisine. Exceptional decor and very very clean. The menu is huge so try to research it before you go. If you want to enjoy this food but your kids might not eat it, STILL bring them as they have cheeseburger and chicken tenders and fries available. I like the lamb shawarma w...

The front counter is dutifully manned by Rita who knows everyone by their first names and greets you upon coming in. The food is prepared by Nick, back in the kitchen, who pays attention to...
